   I can't see why flet should be a problem in this respect.
   It's easy to replace uses of `flet` with uses of `cl-letf`.
   E.g.

       (flet ((f (arg) body))
         ...)

   turns into

       (cl-letf (((symbol-function 'f) (lambda (arg) body)))
         ...)

Yeah, i suppose that's workable.  EDB 1.32 (announcement pending
net.unglitching) lames out, however, w/ this choice tidbit:

 (unless (require 'cl-lib nil t)
   ;; Add other ‘cl-lib’ time travellers here.
   (defalias 'cl-loop 'loop)
   (defalias 'cl-labels 'labels)
   ;; The following are arguably sick and wrong.  So it goes.
   (defalias 'cl-flet* 'labels)
   (defalias 'cl-flet 'flet))
 
How's THAT for stomach-churning?!  :-D
