I've lately found a use for a function that calls a predicate on each
element of a list and returns all non-null results. (I bring this up
here because it has a SOME-like flavor).

(defun all-such-that (predicate list &key key)
"Return non-nil PREDICATE results for elements in LIST."
(loop for elt in list
as value = (if key
(funcall predicate (funcall key elt))
(funcall predicate elt))
when value
collect value))

Gauche Scheme

(define (all-such-that predicate lst :optional (key values))
(filter-map predicate (map key lst)))

(all-such-that (^n (and (odd? n) n)) '(1 2 3 4 5) square)
===>
(1 9 25)

Better:

(define (all-such-that predicate lst :optional (key values))
(filter-map (^x (and (predicate x) x)) (map key lst)))

(all-such-that odd? '(1 2 3 4 5) square)
===>
(1 9 25)
