bug#39919: 26.3; Incorrect byte-compiler warning

[Mike Woolley]

I think people using `dotimes' from `cl’ are going to expect it to work like in Common Lisp (as that’s the whole point).

Just deprecating the result parameter because it’s too hard doesn’t seem like a good solution :-)

Thanks,

Mike

Yes that fixes the issue in the test cases I sent.
Also looks good in my real code where I noticed the problem!

Seems the current warning is a compromise.  It is not perfect because it
is not really clear what the warning means.  I would vote for a clear
"argument is deprecated" warning.

Michael.
