OK. I guess we'd have to use eieio-oref/oset then, since those functions
are not from CLOS (given that 'cl' means that thing I thought it means,
but I might just be confused :) ).

I meant a compat package in CEDET upstream, so that it can run on older
Emacsen if we stop shipping our own EIEIO version. As long as we're
obsolete-aliasing the old names, I don't see why we would need a compat
package in Emacs?
