Although personally I wouldn't mind seeing cl-lib in core, for the benefit of
Emacs I have to agree with Eli. It's not something we should do just because
it sounds like a good idea, but because not doing it would cost us something.
Shaving a few milliseconds from startup is not enough of a gain to be worth
bloating core.
