Hello,

Per-library quadstate ends up being rather wordy, see attached example
for handling zlib that way. I have thought about it but cannot see a
substantial abbreviation potential ad_hoc, there are 8 cases to handle.
- Do you want me follow-up, extending this approach to brotli/zstd/tpm?

The global switch is obviously simpler.
