Hello,

Flymake is giving many errors, for a command that I believe works. This happens 
with a clean init file.


The command so far is this:

;;;###autoload
(defun selectrum-bookmark ()
   "Go to or create a bookmark.
To create a bookmark with the same name, use `bookmark-set' (\\[bookmark-set])."
   (interactive)
   ;; Require `bookmark' to load the bookmark list.
   (require 'bookmark)
   ;; Make sure bookmarks are available.
   (unless bookmark-alist
     (if (file-exists-p bookmark-default-file)
         (bookmark-load bookmark-default-file)
       (user-error "selectrum-bookmark: File not found: %s"
                   bookmark-default-file)))
   (let ((formatted-bookmarks
          (and bookmark-alist
               (cl-loop
                for bm in bookmark-alist
                for name = (car bm)
                collect (propertize
                         (replace-regexp-in-string
                          "\n"
                          (propertize "\\n" 'face 'warning )
                          (concat (propertize name 'face 'bold)
                                  ": "
                                  (propertize
                                   (concat (alist-get 'filename bm)
                                           "@"
                                           (number-to-string (alist-get 
'position bm)))
                                   'face 'underline)
                                  ": "
                                  (alist-get 'front-context-string bm)
                                  (propertize "|" 'face 'highlight)
                                  (alist-get 'rear-context-string bm))
                          'fixed-case 'literal)
                         'bm bm)))))
     (if-let* ((chosen-cand (selectrum-read "Bookmark: " formatted-bookmarks))
               (actual-data (get-text-property 0 'bm chosen-cand)))
         (bookmark-jump actual-data)
       (bookmark-set chosen-cand))))

Here are some of the errors Flymake reports:

    19   0 warning  Unused lexical variable ‘formatted-bookmarks’
    22   3 warning  ‘(chosen-cand (selectrum-read "Bookmark: " 
formatted-bookmarks))’ is a malformed function
    34  15 warning  reference to free variable ‘for’
    34  19 warning  reference to free variable ‘bm’
    34  22 warning  reference to free variable ‘in’
    35  19 warning  reference to free variable ‘name’
    35  24 warning  reference to free variable ‘=’
    36  15 warning  reference to free variable ‘collect’
    54  52 warning  reference to free variable ‘chosen-cand’
    55   9 warning  reference to free variable ‘actual-data’

You can see that it is treating key words as variables in `cl-loop', and cannot 
see that `actual-data' is defined in `if-let*'. The command works fine when 
evaluated.

Thank you.

Thank you, I had missed adding those.
