I feel like putting it in src/bin would carry an implication of
robustness that I'm not sanguine about. Granted, putting it in
contrib has already pushed the envelope in that direction further than
is perhaps warranted. But ISTM that if we ever want to put this in
src/bin someone needs to devote some serious engineering time to
filing down the rough edges.
