Precisely. That `caddr' function is slated (was, at least) to be
removed and thus replaced by the equivalent `cl-caddr' function.
That's what I meant by renaming. That's what I think is crazy.

For now, yes. Stefan's plan was to obsolete `cl.el'.

That's not the "this" that I have a hard time believing went down.
It is the renaming to `cl-' that I find hard to fathom.

Excellent. Agreed 100%.
