My understanding is (require 'cl-lib) is OK. We can probably kill a lot of our own prefixed functions by using cl-lib functions. And IMO we should. (require 'cl) is not good (other than when byte-compiling). Correct me if I'm wrong. So cl-mapcan is OK. > Also, does it matter if I use the alias "mapcan" instead of "cl-mapcan"? I think for newer Emacs the prefix is preferred. Sometimes the older versions do not have it (e.g. outline-mode). I don't know when the change was made....
