Could you please clarify this in the docstrings, as well?

Right now they say:

 * The forced inline is required as e.g. GCC would inline read() into here
 * instead of lining the simple buffer access into callers of get().

which could be mistaken as implying "required for functional
correctness".

I'd do this myself but you'd probably be able to describe what they
_are_ required for better.
