I fully agree with Martin to add (most of) cl to the elisp core!

Yes, defstruct is also nice...

True enough!

Sure, some cl stuff might be questionable, but what I would really like
to avoid is to have to beg for every single cl function.

I would like to see: cl is added, only the truly questionable stuff
is not included.  I.e., we will not hear "I don't think this
function is useful" as a reason why a cl function is not included.

And let's not forget: reinventing the wheel isn't fun.
