What about:
int median(int a, int b, int c) {
return (a<b) ? (b<c) ? b : (a<c) ? c : a : (a<c) ? a : (b<c) ? c : b;
}
vs.
def median(a: Int, b: Int, c: Int) =
if (a < b) {
if (b < c) b
else if (a < c) c
else a
}
else if (a < c) a
else if (b < c) c
else b

Is the compiler always able to always optimize out the function call by
inlining it, as would be the case with a scope?
