Something like this?

Something like that.  Although without making the new function inline
this will generate an indirect call.

It will, but I don't see how we can have it both ways...

Last time I played with these optimization gcc did inline function
pointers passed to __always_inline function into the calling
function.  That is you can keep the source level abstraction but get the
code generation as if it was open coded.
