Hmm, no, actually, there were already two old bug reports about this
issue: bug#16206 and 31232. The RESULT argument of `dotimes' had been
deprecated as a result of that discussion.
I can't easily obtain that discussion. Perhaps that discussion
turned up some other reason to deprecated that argument. But if it
was solely to avoid these warnings, I am surprised it is hard.
Does this patch fix the problem?
