I think you'll find that any of the loops below will work fine in a
context where return has a defined meaning: in particular, in a
deffunction or the RHS of a defrule. I could weasel out of this by
calling this undefined behavior, as returning from a loop at the
prompt has no useful
16.70 and 16.71 probably shouldn't mention return at all; this was
indeed leading me up the garden path. (I was thinking of (for) and
(foreach) as some inline function definition plus call, and that's why
you can use return to break from them.)
