I would oppose to that as atleast short always-to-be-inlined methods are
way easier to read/find if they are defined inline.  I'd rather spent
the converting time creating a more C++-syntax aware
testcase-reduction tool (like f.i. as you are suggesting, removing
method definitions but retaining/creating declarations).

If our C++ parser would only be so readable to be able to reproduce
source - I tried for a weekend, but miserably failed to even get to
the point of just re-outputting recognized tokens...

Richard.
