A while back, I was told you shouldn't do
xxx
(pedagogically, I don't mention what you
shouldn't do), instead, you should only do
(require 'cl-lib)
for every and all such cases.
Who told me? It doesn't matter. I believed him.
However, with Gnus, building up the function
provided last, this
(require 'gnus)
won't do it, instead
(require 'gnus-score)
(require 'gnus-sum)
will.
Is this because Gnus is a program and CL is
a library, or is it just one of them
inconsistencies the world - and in particular
the world of computing - is consistently
filled with?
Also, the code:
(defun gnus-summary-uncool-subject ()
(interactive)
(let ((subject (gnus-summary-article-subject)))
(when subject
(gnus-summary-score-entry
"Subject" subject
'e ; exact string
-1000 ; enough to mark-and-expunge; see .SCORE file
nil) ; no expiration DATE
)))
Keep it real time.

I think you've misunderstood the rule to be a lot more general than what
it really is. That rule was for `cl-lib' only (well, and `cl' as well,
actually).
