Just out of curiosity (and I haven't followed this thread), why?

Why make `cl-flet' less like CL's `flet'?  If you want `labels'-like behavior,
why not define `cl-labels' for that?

Or call this `foobar' or whatever.  Calling it `cl-flet' seems the more
misleading the farther the behavior gets from CL's `flet' - no?

Sounds like this is a step backward - in terms of possible confusion, at least.
