I don't understand this, but it doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.

Actually, they aren't, which is why they're still in CL.

        * mm-util.el (mm-delete-duplicates): New function.
        (mm-write-region): Use it.

I certainly wouldn't use `cl-macroexpand' since it's an internal
function, and I've faced problems with those in the past.
`macroexpand' is one of the things CL clobbers.

I think there's evidence in changelogs that I'm not talking through my
hat about this.
