`ivy-hydra` seems to be "extra `ivy` functionality, using a hydra",
rather than "`ivy` support for hydras", so I don't think it belongs with
`hydra.el`.
OTOH, I think it should be included into `ivy`. IIUC this is currently
not done because it would require adding `hydra` as a dependency to
`ivy`, but my counter argument would be that the better option is to add
to `hydra` a new *function* to replace/complement the `defhydra`
*macro*, so that `ivy-hydra.el` can be included into `ivy` (and compiled
correctly) without needing to add a dependency on `hydra`.
For `ivy-avy` I think the argument is almost the same, except I don't
see any reason why it isn't done yet (there doesn't seem to be any need
for `avy` to be around to compile correctly `ivy-avy`).
So, let's start with this: Could we merge `ivy-avy` into `ivy`?

That'd be fine by me.

Oh, if you need an extra guilty conscience in order to get to work,
I can help, I have plenty of those here.
