There is no `once-only' without the `cl'. If this construct is worth having for the sake of programs written for Emacs Lisp, and its definition is going to be present all the time, we may as well add it with a simpler name. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
