The problem of `cl-loop' is more one of expressiveness and readability.
Even some Common Lisp people don't like it and have developed
alternatives - like "iterate" (https://iterate.common-lisp.dev/).

Dunno if something like that would be more acceptable to Po Lu, but it
could be an improvement compared to `cl-loop'.
