The LOOP macro seems sort of over-eager in typing.
Allegro Lisp 1.3 didn't seem to bother, but MACL 2.0B does.
How do you work around this (awaiting the bug to be fixed
in the LOOP macro, I presume)?

;;; example with  LOOP macro

(loop for number from 0 to 1 by .1 
      do (print number))

;;; its macro expansion

((LAMBDA (NUMBER)
   (DECLARE (TYPE FIXNUM NUMBER))
   (BLOCK NIL
     (LET ()
       (TAGBODY
       LOOP::NEXT-LOOP
         (WHEN (> NUMBER 1) (GO LOOP::END-LOOP))
         (PRINT NUMBER)
         (SETQ NUMBER (+ NUMBER 0.1))
         (GO LOOP::NEXT-LOOP)
         (GO LOOP::END-LOOP)
       LOOP::END-LOOP))))
 0)
