The cl library is an incredibly complex hack. It makes debugging and
figuring out things quite harder.
It makes more sense to switch to a system which deals with such
complexity in more straightforward ways.
So I tend to see your wish of "make Emacs Lisp more powerful instead" as
more expensive and painful in the long run.
