Right.  This bug is not about that.

Yes - let Emacs embrace `case' as one of its own.

But I put it differently.  It's not about where the
definition lives (in which file), except in so far
as one or the other place requires users to jump
through more hoops.

And no one has ever had to (and still does not need
to) load cl.el at runtime, to get `case'.  It's a
macro, so it's enough to load it at byte-compile time.

Still, it would be better if even that were not needed.

It's been raised, IIRC, but didn't go anywhere.

Agreed.  I just jumped in here, OT, in response to
this general statement:

  The manual should refer to `cl-case', not `case'.

Yes.

I haven't looked at the resulting doc, but I'm sure it's
a great improvement.  Thanks for all your work on this.
