Subject: bug#7319: `defsetf' methods of `extent-*' in emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el

Current through bzr-102222

emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el has `defsetf' methods for:

 `extent-data', `extent-face', `extent-priority',
 `extent-end-position', `extent-start-position'

AFAICT GNU Emacs deosn't define the corresponding operators:

 `set-extent-data', `set-extent-face',
 `set-extent-priority', `set-extent-endpoints'

GNU Emacs doesn't even support the majority of cl*.el functions at
runtime (let alone setf methods for many core procedures) so why does
it make an attempt tos upport CL related functions for an alien
application's incompatible lisp featureset?

emacs -Q

(defun bubba (x)
  (eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
  x)

M-x compile-defun

(symbol-plist 'extent-data)
(symbol-plist 'extent-face)
(symbol-plist 'extent-priority)
(symbol-plist 'extent-end-position)
(symbol-plist 'extent-start-position)

Is this another example of CL polluting the "global names"?
:P
