I tried restricting the new function:

-Apdn   |bool   |grok_atoUV     |NN const char* pv|NN UV* valptr|NULLOK const char** endptr
+EXpdn  |bool   |grok_atoUV     |NN const char* pv|NN UV* valptr|NULLOK const char** endptr

.. but ext/Dynaloader complains it can't see it. Should I simply be adding a #define PERL_EXT to that module? I had assumed all the core extensions would get that automatically, so I'm not sure what the ramifications are.
