;;; The LOOP iteration macro is one of a number of pieces of code

;;; permitted, as long as the code is not sold for profit, and as long
;;; as notification of MIT's interest in the code is preserved.

;;; This version of LOOP, which is almost entirely rewritten both as
;;; originally developed at MIT and licensed as set out above. This
;;; version of LOOP, which is almost entirely rewritten both as a
;;; clean-up and to conform with the ANSI Lisp LOOP standard, started
;;; life as MIT LOOP version 829 (which was a part of NIL, possibly
;;; never released).
;;;
;;; A "light revision" was performed by me (Glenn Burke) while at
;;; Palladian Software in April 1986, to make the code run in Common
;;; Lisp. This revision was informally distributed to a number of
;;; people, and was sort of the "MIT" version of LOOP for running in
;;; Common Lisp.
