No: The way to do it is to rename cl.el to cl-<something>.el, change all
its definitions to use the "cl-" prefix and then create a new cl.el
which only contains defaliases.
Yes, that would be the right way.
My suggestions for names for the new package are cl-safe, cl-imp (for
implementation), or cl-nice (because it is nice to the namespace).
> also: should i also add cl- aliases for macro names in CL, for uniformity?
That's a good question and I haven't thought much about it. I'm leaning
towards the "yes" (e.g. I don't like the current dolist/dotimes
situation where those macros are defined in two different ways
depending on whether `cl' is loaded or not).
I agree.
