`member' in cl.el is essentially the same function as the builtin `memq'. Why not just fset the former to the latter? It's much faster. Differences: (1) memq on a dotted list may crash your Emacs, while member accepts dotted lists. Maybe fix memq not to have this problem. (2) member uses eql, while memq uses eq. But these are the same function. --Sam Kendall
