Subject: why call it `cl-once-only'?
Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2024 22:30:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1scbry-0004f9-V0@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 874j7xzvgx.fsf@gmail.com

Why does the construct `cl-once-only' have the prefix `cl'?
There is no `once-only' without the `cl'.

If this construct is worth having for the sake of programs written for
Emacs Lisp, and its definition is going to be present all the time, we
may as well add it with a simpler name.
