You're right, I didn't check the docstring but only the elisp reference
which wasn't complete in that regard. The elisp reference reads[1]:
Macro: cl-flet (bindings…) forms…
This form establishes let-style bindings for functions rather than
values. Each binding must be a list of the form ‘(name arglist
body…)’. Within forms, any reference to the function name uses the local
definition instead of the global one.
I submitted a bug report for Emacs. Otherwise I installed some changes
which should address all the issues. Again, thank you very much for
raising these points. Please let me know if something is still not
working.
Best, Arash
