They are slightly different -- the cl versions put a `(block nil ...)'
around the loop.  Since this is basically a no-op unless you actually
use it (though slightly more inefficient), it's OK, and necessary, to
let them override the subr versions when code does (require 'cl).

I suppose that non-cl-using code that is compiled at the same time may
inadvertently end up using the more inefficient versions, but it's
probably not _that_ big a deal ...
