For bundled packages, cl-generic is preloaded, so the `require' is
unneeded tho harmless.  For unbundled packages relying on the
cl-generic.el compatibility library (distributed via GNU ELPA), both the
macros and the functions are supposedly all autoloaded, so again the
require should be unneeded tho harmless.

If the cl-generic.el compatibility library is installed by hand it's likely
that the autoloads aren't properly setup, in which case the `require'
would be needed, both at compile-time and at run-time.
