I am sure it can be replaced with better functions. I use `dotimes'
sometimes when I do not know the length of the list to work on. It may
be replaced by other functions or nicer ones.
In regards to third argument, to tell not to use it is not logical as:
dotimes is a Lisp macro in ‘subr.el’.
(dotimes (VAR COUNT [RESULT]) BODY...)
(dotimes (n 10) (setq a n)) => returns nil
(dotimes (n 10 a) (setq a n)) => returns a as 9
So when I need the return value from dotimes, I need it.
