I think you ran this with Saxon-B. Saxon-SA does more powerful
optimizations, and produces
<query>
<globalVariables>
<declareVariable name="level">
<literal value="3" type="xs:integer"/>
</declareVariable>
</globalVariables>
<declareFunction name="local:debug" arity="1" tailRecursive="false">
<literal value="()"/>
</declareFunction>
<body>
<let variable="dosmthg" as="element(oki,
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType)">
<be>
<directElement name="oki" validation="preserve">
<valueOf>
<literal value="test trace" type="xs:string"/>
</valueOf>
</directElement>
</be>
<return>
<sequence>
<literal value="()"/>
<variableReference name="dosmthg"/>
</sequence>
</return>
</let>
</body>
</query>
One of the optimizations that's done in Saxon-SA but not in Saxon-B is
function inlining.

Subject: [xquery-talk] Optimizations
Hi,
I have made a little experiment after reading Michael (Kay) blog posts about
optimizations and recent James Fuller article.
I have a question quite specific to saxon still interesting in general.
Why in the following example even the function call is not skipped ?
XQuery is ::
declare variable $level := 3;
declare function local:debug($what){
if($level >=4) then
<debug>{$what}</debug>
else ()
};
let $dosmthg := <oki>test trace</oki>
return
(local:debug($dosmthg),$dosmthg)
