I can. Here are four:
(let ((letter ?a))
(while (< letter ?z)
... do something with letter ...
(incf letter)))
If only everybody used incf. I think it could make sense to make incf
and < work with characters (and not convert them to int). Things get
tricky with
(+ ?a 1) ;; Return char
(+ ?a ?z) ;; Signal error?
