I think this is only used for historical reasons because it existed 
since I started to use ublas. At this time it mad a big difference to 
compilers when inline was given. Maybe this is now obsolete - however 
it should not hurt. 

Do you have any concerns that too many "inlines" might reduce 
performance? If you identify such methods then we can simply remove the 
inline qualifier.
