This is a vestige from long ago, and I admit I'm not sure of the
intended function of eval-when-compile. All versions of GNU Emacs I've
found seem to load cl implicitly, making it a moot point.
If they do so, it is a bug. CL should not be loaded by running any of
the packages installed in emacs. If you can tell me a precise test
case for such a problem, I will fix it.
The purpose of eval-when-compile is to make sure the file will not
load CL at runtime. So please don't remove that. Removing it would
introduce a bug of the above sort.
