CMU CL: (loop for i from 1 to 10 (print i))
CLTL2: (loop for i from 1 to 10 (print i))
CLISP: (loop for i from 1 to 10 do (print i))
Why I have to use 'do' in CLISP, it seems non-standard ?

per HyperSpec, all clauses in the extended form of Loop need to start
with a keyword, unless I missed a [...] somewhere. though I guess it
would be quite unambiguous to assume 'do' when the keyword is missing.
so CLISP seems rightp here.

Ouch... I missed the difference between loop keywords
and lisp forms. We use do ... keyword when we need to
evaluate something. But we never use do for another loop
keyword.
Comparing to lisp there no loops in C at all...
