This one is quite different because it has access to the final value
of all the loop variables.  So while it is occasionally possible to move
the "RESULT" expression to after the `do` loop, it's often not an option
because it needs to access some of the loop variables.

For `dolist` this can *never* happen because the only loop variable is
known to always contain nil at that point.

For `dotimes` this can very occasionally happen, tho you can always work
around it with a simple rewrite.
