Well, it's in subr-x because I'm not sure that it is yet a good idea to
"advertize it so loudly" as Stefan uses to say. Nothing in subr-x is
described in the manual.
If we are sure that we want to document this right now in the manual, we
could document it together with thunks. Though, I'm also not sure if
thunks won't be replaced with something more advanced in the near
future.
