To be absolutely honest, for a macro that is documented as autoloaded, I
expect Emacs to automatically load all required files. So, in this
concrete case, I would expect Emacs to automatically load cl, cl-lib, or
cl-macs, or whatever is necessary to use cl-letf. If it does not do
this, my impression is that the macro shall not be called autoloaded, on
the grounds that the required definitions are not automatically loaded.
