That's indeed the upcoming solution: as discussed somewhat recently,
I suggested we provide a new package `cl-lib' which would be like CL but
with a clean namespace (i.e. everything starts with "cl-").
Then (require 'cl-lib) would be perfectly acceptable.
cl.el would become a file that just provides a bunch of aliases for
backward compatibility purposes.
