        I think this is a political issue more than anything else...
the GNU Emacs maintainers don't like cl to the extent that they create
warnings for it; the XEmacs folks don't.

        I'm not sure to what extent cl.el modifies emacs-lisp
behaviour; in Common Lisp you would have to use a macro, or wrap the
defun in an eval-when clause :-)
