We could have a list library (with "list-" prefix).  I'm not sure if
it'll be worth the trouble now that we have cl-lib (before, with cl.el
most of its list functions were out of reach, because cl.el could not
be used at run-time, but this problem doesn't plague cl-lib).

All sounds fine.  For some of them, we already have a file for them
(e.g. time-date.el).

The main problem is for functions which would most naturally end up in
subr.el: since subr.el is preloaded, we'd rather put there only
functions which are very likely to be used.
