There is no rule against primitive files calling to other \P files. I didn't
have to look very long to find one. And if we inlined them, I suspect the
primitive substitution in L3P will not work until L3P is updated to support the
new ones. Correct me if I'm wrong. Here's the one I would like to see the most:
