zlib extension redundant?

[VictorVanV]

I noticed php gets compiled with zlib support, making the zlib extension redundant. You can still add the zlib extension, but it'll not be loaded, returning the message "Warning: Module 'zlib' already loaded in Unknown on line 0" when php starts.
Coming from php55 where I did have to add the zlib extension for zlib support, I thought I'd write here and ask what the preferred method of adding zlib is.
My compile options for php55 and php70 are exactly the same - does php70 now automatically include zlib? Not according to the php documentation http://php.net/manual/en/zlib.installation.php but it looks like it does anyway.
