This is often true, particularly when the functions differ in small but
annoying-to-characterize ways.
I really, really doubt that this true of e.g. 'plusp' though. :)

OK. It's probably best to at least generate a starting list by looking
at the heavily-duplicated stuff. Things in cl that nobody is
reimplementing are clearly not worth migrating out... and if we can make
the things we migrate more elispy at the same time, so much the better!
