Hey Andy,

I went ahead and added it anyway in the end. It was really quite easy
to do, and it sets a good template for future primitives that are
added to Zinc.

Meanwhile, I've fully triaged the regression Martin found, and in the
same test he performed, the Zinc code now runs faster than the old
code (which should be no surprise).

I've also finished getting rid of -include, per your suggestion, and
modularizing each algorithm to be loadable independently, per your
suggestion.

All and all, v5 is turning out really well, and I'll probably submit
it sometime soon. My tree was just added to the kbuild test bot, so
I'll hopefully get an email about any breakage *before* I submit this
time.

Regards,
Jason
