There isn't, though it would be straightforward to write a macro.
Scheme doesn't put as much emphasis on mutation as Common Lisp does;
note that while `do` looks the same in Scheme as in Common Lisp,
it does not mutate the iteration variables but rebinds them, and
named `let` is all about looping while rebinding.
