  ; macro: (dotimes (var expr [finally]) body ...)
  ;   dotimes iterates over a series of integers.
  ;   dotimes evaluates expr and signals an error if the result
  ;   is not an integer. If expr is zero or negative, the
  ;   body is not executed. Otherwiese dotimes executed the body
  ;   for each integer from 0 up to but not including the value of expr.
  ;   During the evaluation of body, var is bound to each integer.
  ;   Then finally is evaluated if present, and the result is returned,
  ;   otherwise #void is returned. At the time finally is evaluated,
  ;   var is bound to the number of times body was excuted.
