I've extracted the bits from edmacro.el into subr.el, just to see how
much would have to be copied over.  I think it's about 140 lines,
leaving edmacro.el with 580 lines.  (And the admacro functions would
have to be rewritten from cl-macs code to pure Emacs Lisp, since subr.el
probably can't require cl.el compile-time.)

So I'm not sure it's worth it...
