There's really no need to completely rewrite all those dotimes in terms
of cl-loop. Writing (dotimes (_ ...) ...) is quite common and fine.

Sure, but subtract-time has been called time-subtract for almost two
decades now[1].

Sure, but often a compatibility shim can go a long way, and in this case
the question is why was undo-elt-crosses-region obsoleted as part of
bug#17235, and what should undo-tree.el do in future Emacs versions.
Maybe Barry, Toby, or Stefan should be CCed in this or a new discussion
about it, seeing as Jonas' concerns were never addressed, AFAICT.
Thanks,
