I think that Enum.IsDefined should not be inlined (by the compiler) because it is a run-time reflection API that has to reflect changes made to the metadata after (C#) compilation. (Usually by using a newer version of the referenced assembly. But metadata can even be modified after C# compilation when the enum and the calling code is in the same module.) Enum range checking should be done by using <= and >= along with enum members. (When the values are in multiple ranges a switch statement should do the job.)
