I have one concern with subr-x: it's not particularly clear that it's 
qualitatively different from subr.  If we add something to subr-x, isn't that 
mostly the same as adding it to subr?

Also, it'd be great if this new feature was distributed separately, maybe in an 
ELPA package, to be usable in older Emacsen.
