Look at Peter's example, it's better for this, I believe. Why isn't
empty being
inlined? That's a tiny little function with a lot of impact.
It's the autodecode'ing front(), which is a fairly complex function.
front() should follow a simple pattern that's been very successful in
HHVM: small inline function that covers most cases with "if (c < 0x80)"
followed by an out-of-line function on the multicharacter case. That
approach would make the cost of auto-decoding negligible in the
overwhelming majority of cases.
