Description
Inline scripts added via wp_add_inline_script() are only output when the referenced script file is loaded. If an inline script is added after a referenced script file has already been output, the inline script won't be output.
Much like how wp_enqueue_script() can be used within a shortcode to enqueue a file in the footer even though it would normally be loaded in the head; I propose that wp_add_inline_script() should output the inline script even if the referenced script file has already been loaded.
Since we can't predict when a script file that was loaded in the footer might be loaded into the head due to a third-party script with it as a dependency, wp_add_inline_script() should also be flexible and not break things by simply not outputting the code in those cases.
