[gnu.emacs.bug] 18.54: lisp/cl.el still missing provide/require pair

merlyn@intelob.intel.com (Randal L. Schwartz @ Stonehenge) (05/19/89)

GNU Emacs 18.54 is still missing 

(require 'cl)

*after* the

(provide 'cl)

This is the solution I came up with last year so that you didn't need
to remember to load the file before byte-compiling it.  Let's hope this
gets into version 19, OK?

Just to be redundantly clear:

   (provide 'cl)
   (require 'cl)

enables the file to be loaded, or byte-compiled without loading (which
then gets loaded as a side-effect), or byte-compiled after loading (or
ignored :-).  No fuss, no muss.
