I know the manual documents it this way (p. 2-40), but I think this
guy has a good point. Justifications, anyone?

David,
Is there some deep underlying reason why in the expression
(do ( ... ) (e1) ... )
MacLisp does not treat e1 as thelast element in the EXITLIST and returns
(instead) NIL? Grumble.
