Are you sure about "uninlined"?

The expected behavior is that exported functions are still inlined, but
still kept as a exported functions. Examining
the assembly code for the following module

-module(t).

-compile(export_all).
-export([t/0]).
-compile({inline,[{foo,0}]}).

t() ->
    foo().

foo() ->
    42.

it can be seen that the call to foo/0 has been replaced with 42 in t/0.

export_all Causes all functions in the module to be exported*, including

Why? The functions are still being inlined as expected.
