Regarding a possible merge in cl-lib, should cl-types.el be copied at
the end of cl-lib, after cl-macs is loaded? If I correctly understand
the logic of loading these libs ;-)
I looked into this a bit more, and it turns out that cl-generic
depends on cl-lib, so the code in cl-types.el that depends on
cl-generic can't go in cl-lib. This concern the two definitions
at the end of cl-types.el:
Yes, as you've seen, the placement can be tricky. There are bootstrap
constraints as well as "general design" desires, and they all kind
of pull in different directions.
I'll take a closer look and come back with a proposal.
