In Common Lisp the following to are equivalent

    (loop :repeat 5 :collect t)

and

    (loop repeat 5 collect t)

as keywords are shared among all packages.  In cl-lib, the former
variant is now allowed, since :repeat is not recognised as a cl-loop
keywords.

It seems to me that it would be nice to support these too, as keywords
have the superficial advantage of being a bit more readable due to their
additional highlighting, and for some people it makes the macro a bit
more comfortable to use since it doesn't have to feel like you are using
a whole new language, but instead these are just keyword arguments to an
unusual function call.

I think it'd just lead to even more confusion, since they aren't really
keyword arguments.  Because then you'd have to say

(loop ...
      :do (progn (foo) (bar)))

But you can say

(loop ...
      do (foo)
         (bar))

It seems it isn't that difficult to do this (though the patch is longer
than it ought to be because of indentation changes):

Perhaps I could pull the cl-flet out and replace each (next) with a
(cl--loop-parse-next)?

Why would this be necessary?  I am not saying that `cl-loop' should be
converted into a proper keyword-macro, just that each `:foo' in a
loop-keyword position ought to be interpreted as `foo'.

You said that cl-loop would be more comfortable if "it doesn't have to
feel like you are using a whole new language, but instead these are
just keyword arguments to an unusual function call".

I'm pointing out that this is wrong -- they are not keyword arguments,
and if you think that they are, you're going to be using it wrong.

In other words, it is a whole new language, not just keyword arguments.

Actually, that's not the reason why Common Lisp accepts that.  The 
reason is that the loop macro only looks at symbol names.  In Common Lisp

(symbol-name :a) => "A"
(symbol-package :a) => #<PACKAGE "KEYWORD">
(symbol-name foo:a) => "A"
(symbol-package foo:a) => #<PACKAGE "FOO">

while in Emacs

(symbol-name :a) => ":a"

Wouldn't it be nice if Emacs finally decided to have Common Lisp packages?

I phrased that clumsily -- while it is a new language, it doesn't always
have to feel like one.  E.g. the repeat-collect example I gave before.
If you *can* use keywords, you *can* make some cl-loop invocations
appear to be a macro or a function call with keyword-arguments.

But of course this wouldn't be the case, as the macro should stay
backwards compatible.

Interesting, I did not know this.  But the point remains that Common
Lisp's loop accepts both the symbol "a" from the "COMMON-LISP" package
and from the "KEYWORD" package, right?

Yeah, if only we could convince Emacs to do that ;)

Right, from any package.  The reason is that otherwise one couldn't
write (loop repeat ...), for example, if a package defines its own
repeat symbol.

I could convince Emacs, amd I would even invest the effort doing this,
seriously.

But there are obstacles...

Hold on, I'm getting my popcorn out :-)

It turned out to be a bit more difficult than I had assumed at first,

I understand that.  But it means that the stated rationale for this
change does the users a disservice.

So I'm against extending cl-loop in this way.  Gerd has explained why
it works this way in Common Lisp (because CL doesn't have any other
choice because that's the way the language works), but we should not
shoehorn in this accident into Emacs, too.

While it might have had been an accident initially, I don't think it has
to be considered such.  As I said, there are reasons like syntax
highlighting for preferring keyword-symbols.  But if you don't think
this is a good idea, I'll go ahead and close the issue.

I think we could probably get better syntax highlighting without
keywords if somebody took that on.

My general lack of enthusiasm for this is that this offers syntactical
variation without any practical advantages either way.  This means that
some people will choose one syntax, and others will choose the other,
and we get code churn when people "correct" the code from one to
another.
