Thanks for the explanation Michael.
How about changing dotimes as you suggested, but making cl-dotimes have it’s
own implementation with the result parameter fix applied?
Then everyone’s a winner - those who want the CL behaviour can have it, but
core Emacs will have a cleaner version.
Thanks,
Mike
