IIRC rms has recently declared his dislike for CL-style keyword
arguments.
I don't mind them in things that are very heavyweight anyway, such as
setting frame attributes. What I dislike about Common Lisp is
introducing them into familiar basic Lisp functions such as `member'.
Common Lisp also changes `member' incompatibly to use `eql' as the
default comparison function. So you must use a keyword argument to
get the existing `member' behavior.
