OK, found it - commented lines below is the
yanked result of evaluation:

    (symbol-plist 'inline)
    ;; (byte-compile byte-compile-progn
    ;;  byte-optimizer
    ;;  byte-optimize-inline-handler)

    (symbol-plist 'progn)
    ;; (lisp-indent-function 0
    ;;  byte-hunk-handler
    ;;  byte-compile-file-form-progn
    ;;  byte-compile byte-compile-progn
    ;;  gv-expander [...] [butlast last gv-get
    ;;  progn append] 10 " (fn DO &rest
    ;;  EXPS)"])
