Overall score of how, what? Where?

I like popping.
I don't know why would the word "iterate" not relate to `while' here.
Show me how would you iterate on the above function.
When there are 2 elements to take out of the list and do something
with it, I like to pop it twice. Very handy, and why not.
Imagine if there are 3... popping thrice is so much easier than
thinking of what... I have no idea.

You give me too much thinking here, more than it was necessary for the
function to work.

Since I have started changing `dolist' to `while' that is what
happened, there is often pop.

Maybe I am just bored. `while' loops seem to me easier
understandable, visible. Times change.
