#### 6.1.8 Examples of Miscellaneous Loop Features

     (let ((i 0))                     ; no loop keywords are used
        (loop (incf i) (if (= i 3) (return i)))) ⇒  3
     (let ((i 0)(j 0))
        (tagbody
          (loop (incf j 3) (incf i) (if (= i 3) (go exit)))
          exit)
        j) ⇒  9

In the following example, the variable `x` is stepped before `y` is stepped; thus, the value of `y` reflects the updated value of `x`:

     (loop for x from 1 to 10
           for y = nil then x
           collect (list x y))
    ⇒  ((1 NIL) (2 2) (3 3) (4 4) (5 5) (6 6) (7 7) (8 8) (9 9) (10 10))

In this example, `x` and `y` are stepped in parallel:

     (loop for x from 1 to 10
           and y = nil then x
           collect (list x y))
    ⇒  ((1 NIL) (2 1) (3 2) (4 3) (5 4) (6 5) (7 6) (8 7) (9 8) (10 9))
