add-to-list is oriented at modifying a variable symbol which need not
be constant.  You can use it with a quoted symbol, of course.

cl-pushnew is oriented towards modifying a specific variable.
I don't know how one can do that with cl-pushnew.
Do you have to call symbol-value?  That is much less clean
than doing it with add-to-list.
