Subject: 24.3; Incorrect "variable not left unused" in destructuring cl-loop
Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:25:33 -0400

The byte compiler emits an invalid warning about used "_" lexical
variables in cl-loop destructuring bindings. This was casually mentioned
in bug#8711, where destructuring-bind was fixed (presumably, since it's
fine now) but not loop.

Create a source file like so,

    ;;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
    (require 'cl-lib)
    (cl-loop for (_ value) in '((a 1) (b 2))
             collect value)

Then compile,

    $ emacs -Q -batch -f batch-byte-compile tmp.el
    In toplevel form:
    tmp.el:3:1:Warning: variable `_' not left unused
    Wrote /tmp/tmp.elc

In the macro expansion, the _ is declared in a `let', then later set
with `setq', "using" it.
