Thanks. Or, I might be misunderstanding ;-)
The manual says in D.1 Emacs Lisp Coding Conventions that

    However, there is no problem with using the `cl' package at
     compile time, with `(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))'.  That's
     sufficient for using the macros in the `cl' package, because the
     compiler expands them before generating the byte-code.

Is that not enough, or is it not applicable to code included in Emacs?
