doplus
doplus is a high-level, lispy, extensible iteration construct for Common Lisp. It is a replacement for the LOOP macro and mostly tries to solve the same problem as iterate.

It was written by Alessio Stalla. It is available as open source from Quicklisp.

Compared to iterate, it is designed to avoid the use of a code walker in its implementation. Also, it has a more traditional syntax inspired by that of DO, hence the name; i.e., it clearly separates the head of the form (which controls iteration) from the body.

Iteration clauses in the head are simple macros; users can write their own very easily in terms of the existing ones, or using a lower-level API for complex cases. The few body-local macros have dummy top-level definitions. These two characteristics make doplus very SLIME-friendly both for built-in operators and user-defined ones (provided users follow the same guidelines).
