Namely baing able to reference the loop result in finally clauses as "it".

Please try out iterate::*result-var* and report results.

It most probably works, but IMHO it's not nice.

Couldn't you use named variables?

That's how I do it currently. But I think it's more verbose then needed (I have many collect clauses in the loop).

Any toughts?

You should try to stay away from the anaphoric variable IT in LOOP. It's confusing (working in this clause, not working in that other one).

I tought of that and that's exactly why I suggested to limit it to the finally caluses, where it's intuitive what "it" refers to.
