Some of us don't find it neat.
Are there examples in that book that aren't easily rewritten without the
RESULT arg, and/or the skeptical people here would say ah! that's really
neat and elegant?
Do you often use it, personally?

As I said, I would make the cl- version support it. I don't expect that
code is very frequently ported from Common Lisp to Elisp. But AFAIR
scheme also has RESULT in its `do', so people coming from other Lisps
might miss it. I don't know any Lisp programmers, I can't say.
