And maybe you don't want to inline all of the slot_handle_*() functions, and it's only one or two of them that matter because they loop over a lot of entries, but honestly, most of those slot_handle_xyz() functions seem to have just a couple of call sites anyway.

slot_handle_large_level() is probably already inlined by the compiler because it only has a single call-site.

Will it make for bigger code?
