The MIT loop macro is actually available from rascal.ics.utexas.edu by
ftp. I'm not from there, so I'm taking a great liberty in making this
known. I don't think they'll object.

There's a procedure in there that uses &environment that was fixed for
KCl, which expects it to the right of &whole, so if you're not using
KCl you might want to move the &env to the end of the list.

They also have Schelter's sloop macro, which is nice but I've never managed
to save a lisp image with it loaded in that worked. No suh probs with
the MIT loop, though.

Incidentally, does anyone from X3J13 know if a standard iteration macro
is in the works? When will CL finally get one that it can call its own?
