It very much sounds like the way to go about this would be to check whether we can get papers for it, and if we can, break it down for reusable pieces that we pull into subr.el and the Elisp manual. We do have papers for Elib, and that's pretty much the way I think we should handle it. (I don't think it all has to go into subr.el.)
