Ok, here's a draft bullet:

 * Plumbers generalize the flush-on-exit capability of primitive output
   ports to enable arbitrary flushing actions and to give programmers
   control over the timing of flushes (i.e., a composable `atexit`).
   New functions include `current-plumber`, `plumber-add-flush!`, and
   `plumber-flush-all`.
