That's a shame.  It's really bothersome to have byte-compiler barf at
me for /no/ reason.  I'm not even trying to write FSF-compatible code,
damnit! :-)

I can think of three solutions:

1) modify bytecomp.el to not generate such warnings;

2) "fix" bytecomp.el so that it generates the warnings for all symbols
   but keywords;

3) modify cl.el not to emit variable references to keywords.

#3 would be the desired solution, if it weren't for byte-code
#compatibility.  Would it be worth the trouble to go for #2?
