If I were you I would be using loop as follows:

   ;; Combining diacritics
   (loop for c from #x300 to #x362
         do (modify-category-entry (decode-char 'ucs c) ?^))

Is there any particular reason for loop to be avoided? It is a
macro in CL, so it gets expanded at compile time. I ask since I
have used it in MH-E.

Thanks,
