The point is "inlining" already refers to this kind of inlining. The already-present form is more limited than the typical use of the term.

Then what word would you have used in this presentation, given no established word existed?
"Fixing Go's inlining"
"Go inlining improvements..." and then "Conventionally, inlining includes ... but Go has been limited to ... until recently. With ... Go now supports inlining in a broader array of circumstances."
"Conventionally inclining includes ...?"

What does it include? You've conveniently managed to skip over the crucial part with ellipses. Calls in the middle of stacks perhaps?

You people have too much time on your hands to go and pick at the wording people use in their presentations.

What kind of argument is that?

I'm saying that this is an incredibly inane, nitpicky, superficial conversation that has nothing to do with the technical content of the presentation.
You are saying it; but you aren't really backing it up with anything.
