I don't need anything, I hand optimize prematurely. And I don't 
want to do that.

But yes, inner loops benefits from exhaustive inlining because 
you get to move common expressions out of the loop or change them 
to delta increments. It is only when you trash the caches that 
inlining does not pay off.

I do it by hand. I don't want to do it by hand.

Why? You could always set the depth to 1, or make 1 the default.

And it isn't difficult to implement.
