While on the subject of `dolist' versus `mapc',
I'd add that code with `dolist' looks more like
usual imperative programming constructs (e.g.,
it looks like C or Fortran), and `mapc' looks,
perhaps misleadingly, more like functional
programming mapping over streams.

IOW, IMO there's no great use case for `mapc'
on a list, but I suppose maybe someone might
find it clearer than `dolist' when used in a
context where there's already some other
mapping involved.
