Your loop example returns the length of the longest sublist. The Iterate example yields the longest sublist itself. I am afraid the loop equivalent really has to be this contorted. > The example in 3.2 Named blocks may be better as a selling point: > > (iter outer (for i below (array-dimension ar 0)) > (iter (for j below (array-dimension ar 1)) > (in outer (collect (aref ar i j))))) > > showing that the outer loop can easily collect data produced in the inner > loop. This one is good. I've replaced the (IMO, not very strong) generators example with it.
