Not sure how wise it is to package something that acts as a staging ground
for things to be promoted in say subr.el, as a package. This was the
original idea behind subr-x.el - I had suggested some things to be added to
subr.el, but they were deemed somewhat experimental, as some people weren't
convinced of their usefulness. So, provided things get moved from subr-x to
subr, which I hope to see some day, this proposed package will get out of
sync with whatever is in Emacs itself.
