Looks good, maybe we can fix the similar code in ll_xdl_merge() while
we're at it?

Also, not a problem in your commit, but we check for that constant in
only one place, as:

    XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS < level

Urgh, do you know if there's some reason we're not doing level ==
XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM, or at least level >= XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM
there?
