Whoa, that is a huge regression and needs to be fixed.

namespace prefixes like zexy/date should be supported in all the default
libs, no exceptions.

And we can't require users to remember to do [declare -lib zexy] because
it's ugly and won't work with patches already in the wild before this
change.

Is there a compile-time option for Zexy to produce one-class-per-file
output, or was that removed in a newer version?

Also-- Albert, did you go through the `git log externals/zexy` to see if we
had any fixes for things that aren't upstream? The only thing I vaguely
recall had to do with hexloader, but that my have been a different external
lib...
