(cl)Loop Facility


Loop Facility
=============

A common complaint with Lisp's traditional looping constructs is that
they are either too simple and limited, such as Common Lisp's `dotimes'
or Emacs Lisp's `while', or too unreadable and obscure, like Common
Lisp's `do' loop.

   To remedy this, recent versions of Common Lisp have added a new
construct called the "Loop Facility" or "`loop' macro," with an
easy-to-use but very powerful and expressive syntax.

Loop Basics: `loop' macro, basic clause structure
Loop Examples: Working examples of `loop' macro
For Clauses: Clauses introduced by `for' or `as'
Iteration Clauses: `repeat', `while', `thereis', etc.
Accumulation Clauses: `collect', `sum', `maximize', etc.
Other Clauses: `with', `if', `initially', `finally'
