+ <p>The compiler can also inline a variety of list manipulation functions
+ from the stdlib's lists module.</p>
+
+ <p>This feature must be explicitly enabled with a compiler option or a
+ <c>-compile()</c> attribute in the source module.</p>
+
+ <p>To enable inlining of list functions, use the <c>inline_list_funcs</c>
+ option.</p>
+
+ <p>The following functions are inlined:</p>
