We have heard from some programmers and maintainers that they
see the complexity increase as a problem. We have to believe
them, they think like that. And not everyone else has
to agree.

But I have not heard a lot what should be done about it.
Not generally, how to not have that tendency in the future.

And also not what to do in the particular case being
discussed, namely cl-lib, which is already in use to a huge
extent - indeed, that is exactly what is, according to them,
what has created the huge increase in complexity.

I have only heard improve the docstrings, and I think everyone
agree that is a good idea.

But what more? In general, and with respect to cl-lib in
particular? What is the plan, from the people who think it is
a problem?
