But I currently see no reason to prefer the cl-macs.el behavior over the subr.el one (AFAICT my suggested code is just as efficient as the cl-macs.el one), so I'm not sure whether we should change cl-macs.el or subr.el's behavior. To modify the list that dolist is scanning is such an abuse that I am not sure we need to specify what it should do. But if I have to express a preference between the two behaviors, I think that taking the cdr at the end is a little more "correct", a little less surprising, than taking the cdr before the body.
