Feature zu-incl

Some German infinitives have the particle zu incorporated. With all other infinitives, the zu precedes immediately (for certain infinitival situations like the conjunction um which is reigning infinitive). This distinction is made as for syntactic analysis, the existence or non-existence of the zu in the neighbourhood of the infinitive might decide which context/construction is more likely.
