That is indeed bizarre. Why break existing Elisp code? David
Touretzky provides lots of examples of how to use RESULT with DOTIMES
and DOLIST in _Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction_. Conceptually,
RESULT is a neat way to have the DOLIST/DOTIMES/DO expression
evaluate to a useful value, instead of always being nil valued.
Deprecating RESULT makes it harder to port Common Lisp code to Elisp.

Those are four good arguments for keeping it.
