CAST_INLINE - is it ever defined? Was it ever defined?

[richardleach]

Description
3bb7c1b added inline macros for I_32, U_32, I_V, U_V as an alternative to the pre-existing macros that call the relevant Perl_cast_* function. These inline macros are guarded by CAST_INLINE (https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/blead/perl.h#L4795).

However:

• The commit didn't add anything like a Configure check that would set CAST_INLINE.
• Today's Configure doesn't contain that string, nor do any of the hint files.

Is this dead code? If so, should Configure start setting CAST_INLINE - and under what conditions - or should it be ripped out?

Steps to Reproduce
perl -V or grep -r CAST_INLINE * on a git clone of blead.

Expected behavior
CAST_INLINE is either defined somewhere by something, or it is removed and only one set of cast macros remains.

I don't think anything ever set it, git log -S CAST_INLINE shows only 3bb7c1b

I couldn't find anything relevant around the date of the commit in the nntp p5p archive either.
