Just as a matter of interest, what loads cl-lib in my .emacs is desktop.el. It does this for a single call to cl-list* which could be seen as rather contrived. So any Emacs session loading desktop will also be loading cl-lib; that's virtually any Emacs session in which real work will be getting done, I think. It would be fairly easy to remove cl-lib from desktop.el. Or, on the other hand, we could just as well preload cl-lib, and save an unmeasurable amount of loading time at each Emacs startup. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
