I thought about fixing these up, but, in the end, the bulk of the funky
stuff from the fusion driver is pulled in with :internal:.  That, I think,
makes little sense for a "driver API" book.  So I'm really inclined to just
remove those includes altogether; they can be added in the future if
somebody puts together an internals book for that driver.
