This is a tough question in the sense that presumably this error
message should never appear in the first place.  Could it make sense
that the error message mentioned something like "cl-lib may have
been loaded too late"?  What other scenarios besides not requiring
cl-lib can possibly be the ultimate cause of this error message so
that this message can give the user some hint how to solve this
problem?
