Re: Loop macros (was: Re: macro definition for continue and break)

[Linus Björnstam]

I would say it is mostly an extension of foof-loop with the addition of 
subloops. It is also written mostly in syntax-rules, which makes is portable.

I am not happy with the extensibility outside the possibility to add :for and 
:acc clauses, since it is pretty darn awful do do any changes to the internals.

I have a couple of things I want to sort out, but the source code has started 
to scare me.
