Perhaps I shouldn't be butting in, being only a modest package
maintainer, but I that doesn't make sense to me. To me, `cl' is so
obviously an abbreviation for Common Lisp that I would automatically
expect any function (macro, etc.) prefixed with `cl-' to be a
Common-Lisp emulation function. The fact that some of them aren't is
quite confusing and makes me wonder by what criterion a function or
macro is included in (or excluded from) cl-lib.
