Indeed.  But since the "cl-" prefix has to be used for global (aka
dynamically scoped) variables, it's good practice to *not* use it for
lexically scoped variables.

IOW, I'm all for such cosmetic changes that harmonize the code, but we
should do that by removing (rather than adding) the "cl-" prefix where
it's not needed.
