To finish this thread, I would like to say I am not happy with the last
changes made to file-subdir-of-p by Chong Yidong without ANY
notifications.
Even after discussion about CL integration in Emacs, it seem it is not

i.e what is your problem with loop?

You will see that files.el contain this code at beginning of file:

(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
