A while back, in bug#56875, I've suggested adding a `thread-as' macro
(like Clojure's -as->).  Given that we already have 2 of the 3 most
useful threading macros, I see no reason not to have the remaining one
(which might in fact be the most useful of all 3).

`-some->` is kinda neat but seems less important to me.
