Everything exported by mzscheme, that is: +, - and so forth.

If + is bound to a top-level variable then the optimizer
can't inline call to ut, since it is legal to assign to a
top-level variable. Module imported variables can't be
assigned, so with (require mzscheme) the optimize knows
that + (and friends) is bound to the primitive + provided by
the kernel - and can inline any calls to it.
