Inlining is the process of replacing a subfile reference with the contents of
the subfile.
Like this:
b = 12*a
a = c + 3
If you _inlined_ a into b, you'd get:
b = 12*c + 36
Of course, it's slightly more complicated in LDraw-world.
Inlining is good, because it allows you to design parts/models using several
files, but only distribute a single LDraw file. Inlining is bad because each
reference to a subfile must be replaced with the complete contents of the
subfile, which can increase the file size by a large amount.
The only inlining tool that I know of is the inliner in LDAO.
