Is that actually the case, though? At most, it's using some wonky 
heuristics.

For instance, if I run 'mkid' in the top directory of the Emacs sources, 
I can search for 'defmacro', and get a few lines with 'cl-defmacro' 
instead among the results. Or search for 'eval-when', and get some lines 
with 'eval-when-compile'. But not, curiously, 'cl-eval-when'.

id-utils version 4.6 here.
