+100 from me. I deeply dislike the cl- prefix, especially for common things
like incf and loop. It's both excessive, and annoying to program with.

I would like to see prefix-less aliases for many of the functions in cl-lib.
Let's create a module cl-intf that requires cl-lib and provides those aliases;
and then allow cl-intf to be used in core, so long as we ensure that cl-intf
never shadows existing Emacs Lisp functions also in core.
