That's certainly a lot better than what it was when I reported
the bug:
Test OBJ to see if it an object is a child of type auth-source-backend
But if you try to understand what it says now, `C-h f cl-typep'
tells you only:
This function has a compiler macro 'cl-typep--inliner'.
Not documented.
One problem at a time, I guess...
Is there perhaps a typo in this part?
(cl-typep ... \='auth-source-backend)
What does the ... correspond to? And what's with \='?
