FWIW, I made a couple of other suggestions.

As far as s.el goes, I suppose it might be a good thing to add it to 
ELPA for those who like it.

I'm not completely sold on its contents for the core, however: a lot of 
it looks like a compatibility layer for Clojure's familiarity's sake, 
with very thin wrappers (which basically just add the cost of function 
invocation).

Examples:

1. s-prepend/s-append: trivially replaced by 'concat'.

2. s-trim: string-trim is already in subr-x.

3. s-split: basically delegates to split-string, but wraps it in 
save-match-data (which is generally against our guidelines for its use).
