I don't claim this is a bug - you decide.
emacs -Q
C-h f psetq ;; Not recognized
M-x load-library cl RET
C-h f psetq ;; says it is autoloaded
This is likely true of other such macros as well.

not-a-bug, as below.

CL symbols aren't exposed in emacs -Q without loading cl
> M-x load-library cl RET
> C-h f psetq ;; says it is autoloaded
That's cos it is. The autoloads for cl functions/macros are in
cl-loaddefs.el. When you load cl.el it loads cl-loaddefs.el
autoloading additional names without loading the files
immediately.

Yes, I know all that. But thanks anyway - I probably wasn't clear enough.
My question really is, I guess, whether users should be able to get help about
such macros without first loading cl.el.
Autoloading has a couple different (but related) purposes. One of them helps
Emacs be the self-documenting editor it claims to be.

It is not.

This is not what the cl autoloads are for (nor should any autoload be
used for this purpose IMO).
