   A partial emulation of some Common Lisp functions is present
   in the cl-lib library, for emulation purposes.  It is not supposed to
   be used a lot.

And if there are functions or features that make sense from Common
Lisp, they can always be added piecemeal.  There is no need to make
Emacs Lisp complicated for the sake of compatibility with Common Lisp.

Someone mentioned &optional, and with default values -- that would be
a nice addition to Emacs Lisp.
