FWIW, I think that our CL emulation library
should emulate CL. (Shocking, I know.) In this
case, `cl-labels' should emulate CL's `labels'.
It's bad enough that we've added some non-CL
stuff to our CL library over the years (instead
of putting it elsewhere and not giving it prefix
`cl-'). It's worse when we co-opt a CL name to
do something other than emulate the CL thingie
that has that name.
It's fine for Emacs Lisp to add whatever we like,
including a `labels'-like function that acts
differently from CL `labels'. What's misguided,
IMO, is for us to use the name `cl-labels' for
such non-`labels' behavior. Add a new function
for that, without prefix `cl-'.
I'd even like to see us backtrack on the other,
divergences from CL emulation that use CL names
(but with prefix `cl-').
Just one opinion.
