"The Common Lisp `do' loop.
"Bind variables and run BODY forms until END-TEST returns non-nil.
First, each VAR is bound to the associated INIT value as if by a `let' form.
Then, in each iteration of the loop, the END-TEST is evaluated; if true,
the loop is finished. Otherwise, the BODY forms are evaluated, then each
VAR is set to the associated STEP expression (as if by a `cl-psetq' form)
and the next iteration begins.
Once the END-TEST becomes true, the RESULT forms are evaluated (with
the VARs still bound to their values) to produce the result
returned by `cl-do'.
Note that the entire loop is enclosed in an implicit `nil' block, so
that you can use `cl-return' to exit at any time.
Also note that END-TEST is checked before evaluating BODY. If END-TEST
is initially non-nil, `cl-do' will exit without running BODY.
For more details, see `cl-do' description in Info node `(cl) Iteration'.
