We are already using CLOS (in the form of EIEIO), so the elisp lib cl.el
really has been unfairly treated for such a long time because it was put
into emacs too ahead of time and because of rms's dislike of CL (the
language). Also putting a cl- in front of everything merely reminds
people of Common Lisp. Can we just think of cl.el as some good ideas
stolen from Common Lisp and forget about it hereafter.
