Lisp has the LOOP macro for this kind of nonsense.

I don't think ISWIM (as I understand it) needs to be "conversational" like LOOP. List comprehensions, as a direct translation of set-builder notation, are probably good enough.
LOOP has nothing to do with non-sequential execution, or anonymous scoped blocks (read: 'where' clauses).
