You provided such nice implementations with "functions -M".  Why is it
important that they be built-ins?

Generally speaking we've done builtins only where (a) there is a library
implementation easily linked with or (b) the results of C type coercion
are at odds with the desired behavior of shell numeric-typed parameters.
