So, about the cl package:
If remove-if is renamed cl-remove-if and then 'remove-if defaliased to
'cl-remove-if,
is it now ok to (require 'cl) at runtime? Won't the alias now conflict
with whatever
definition of remove-if the user had?
And if you don't (require 'cl) at runtime, then you can't call cl-remove-if
at runtime,
since it might not be available.
One could move cl-remove-if etc into a separate module called cl-funcs,
so if you want to call cl-remove-if at runtime you (require 'cl-funcs).
This would somewhat break up the logical structure of the cl package,
since things will get grouped by whether they're functions or macros rather
than by topic.
Suggestions?
