Subject: un-deprecating CL
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 17:42:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <864phxjj03.fsf@macs.hw.ac.uk> (raw)

I just saw this wonderful essay by Dave O'Toole entitled

  "(require 'cl) considered harmful" considered harmful

at this URL:

  http://dto.freeshell.org/blog/blog-2007-09-07-2323.html

I agree completely with its reasoning.

Therefore, I propose that the warnings in the manual against relying
on CL and the byte-compiler warnings when you use a CL function should
both be removed.

I hope this suggestion is helpful.
