Probably I'd prefer to see thunk.el in master, and stream.el in ELPA, since
the latter is a bit more special-cased and "implemented in terms of core". If
it ends up proving to be a valuable core addition, we can always bring it into
master later.

We should talk about where to draw "the ELPA divide" at some point too. Core
Emacs sort of has at least two separate roles: Functionality the Emacs
developers have standardized on -- as a common framework to build packages
upon -- and packages that should really be installed anywhere Emacs is
installed.
