Yes, it could well be true for some of them.

Do people really want `cl-pushnew', with its keyword arguments?
Or would a simple `pushnew' be even more pleasing?

To define `pushnew' in Emacs Lisp, and document it in the Emacs Lisp
Reference Manual, would be much cleaner than spreading the use of
cl-lib to more files.
