How about "consider using" instead of "use"? This is, after all, a warning,
not an error.
Some libraries aim for use with multiple Emacs versions, and some Emacs
versions don't have `mapc' or `dolist' (and a library might not have
required `cl' at compile time). When users see such warnings, they can freak
out, submit bug reports to the library maintainers, etc.
If the message length is a problem, drop "instead" -
"`mapcar' called for effect; consider using `mapc' or `dolist'"
is not much longer than
"`mapcar' called for effect; use `mapc' or `dolist' instead"
