This code works but the byte-compiler says the lexical
variable 'num' is unused on the first two occasions it occurs
in the code.

(require 'cl-lib)
(defun interval (&optional min max)
(interactive "nmin: \nnmax: ")
(or min (setq min 0))
(or max (setq max 9))
(unless (<= min max)
(error "Bogus interval") )
(cl-loop for i from min to max
with num = ()
collect i into num
finally return num) )
;; (interval 10 5)

;; (interval 19 99)
;; Warning: Unused lexical variable `num'

I don't know if that makes sense, it doesn't look like it,
however it gave me an idea:
(defun interval (&optional min max)
(interactive "nmin: \nnmax: ")
(or min (setq min 0))
(or max (setq max 9))
(unless (<= min max)
(error "Bogus interval") )
(cl-loop for i from min to max collect i) )
and indeed that works just as well and there isn't a warning.
So that's good ... but why nothing happens with 'num' in the
first attempt I wonder?
