IIRC it's just a remnant of the dynamic scoping days where higher-order
functions needed to obfuscate their local var names to avoid accident
name capture.
`cl` used it fairly systematically (not just when and where needed).
IIRC I did remove this prefix in a number of places (and kept it at
a few places where those vars are actually accessed via dynamic
scoping), but I'm sure there are lots more to clean up.
