Re: CL package suggestion

[Richard Stallman]

    No: The way to do it is to rename cl.el to cl-<something>.el, change all
    its definitions to use the "cl-" prefix and then create a new cl.el
    which only contains defaliases.

Yes, that would be the right way.

My suggestions for names for the new package are cl-safe, cl-imp (for
implementation), or cl-nice (because it is nice to the namespace).

    > also: should i also add cl- aliases for macro names in CL, for uniformity?

    That's a good question and I haven't thought much about it.  I'm leaning
    towards the "yes" (e.g. I don't like the current dolist/dotimes
    situation where those macros are defined in two different ways
    depending on whether `cl' is loaded or not).

I agree.
