Not sure how much of a problem that is, but if people don't like it, we
can surely find something else: `cl-all', `cl-prefix'?

I don't like the "2" and "new" concepts here, since it's not
a reimplementation/redesign. I didn't like "cl-ext" at first, but maybe
there's some sense to it. How 'bout "cl-lib" instead?

Yes.

We want to discourage the use of plain (require 'cl), so the manual
should reflect that and document the prefixed names.

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).
