Indeed - it is in MELPA. My mistake.

Ha ha (?) - this (fails to) remind me of something...

Yes - you can use them transparently to browse all
Lisp without bother where to look. For example, as
just shown, this makes for ELPA and MELPA:

    (setq package-archives
      '(( "elpa" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/";)
        ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/";) ))
