They are byte-compiled correctly (my code works), the trouble is that
cl.el generates code which does something like:

(setq :id ':id)

and then "lets" me use the bare :id.  The byte-compiler doesn't like
the above, saying: hey, you're referencing a constant (within the
`setq').

XEmacs code would work without the `setq', but the Emacs would say
that :id is undefined variable.
