Don't forget the specification:

"A Forth implementation could choose to ignore the keyword, or to give
the marked word appropriate compile time behavior."

If I was adding that to VolksForth, and it was supposed to give an
appropriate behavior to the above code, I would code INLINE as ...

: INLINE ( -- ) -21 S" This compiler cannot inline." .error
; IMMEDIATE
