To be fair, the LOOP facilities are ridiculously complex. Similarly so are the FORMAT facilities.
I regret not knowing more about them as a younger programmer. Most of the "power" of lisp is always shown in the ability to compose programs out of forms. It is amazing how much code you can avoid writing by just using either loop or format. Or both.
