Thanks very much for the hint.
It looks like either the warning is obsolete, or the 'cl' package
goes against Emacs naming conventions. But I assume it would do so
for a good reason (compatibility with common lisp).
For everyone interested, here's an excerpt from the above info page:
* Please don't require the `cl' package of Common Lisp extensions at
run time. Use of this package is optional, and it is not part of
the standard Emacs namespace. If your package loads `cl' at run
time, that could cause name clashes for users who don't use that
package.
However, there is no problem with using the `cl' package at
compile
time, with `(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))'.
