Every time I had to go look it up in the standard to try to figure out what it means. In my opinion, LOOP code is not readable code.I don't think anyone has any intention of proposing the CL loop. More likely would be Shiver's loop or foof-loop (http://mumble.net/~campbell/scheme/foof-loop.txt).
That is in the realm of language design, and would not be, in my opinion, appropriate for a standardization effort, which should concentrate on standardizing common usages and practices. See the C.A.R. Hopare quote alluded to previously.
