Have you forgotten how DO is generalized? with the old-style available,
a non-atomic first arg is *not* generalized the way you just did for
DOTIMES.
No I have not forgotten anything. I am not defending old-style
DO as an example of elegant syntax. But here it is and we are stuck
with it (I confess to even using it sometimes). This is not a reason
to implement other NEW such crocks.
