The problem has nothing to do with the size of the functions.
The problem is the local classes.  MSVC, does not like
local classes in functions defined in headers.  Also, why
are you declaring these static?  The inline should be enough,
and adding static causes technical ODR violations, and may
prevent the duplicate definitions from being stripped out by the
linker (I haven't tested this however).
