    1) How can I reproduce the following behaviour:

    (dotimes (x 10)
    (dotimes (y 10)
    (do-something-with x y)))

    Using only one "do" construct?

    In "((>= x 9))", the >= should have been >.

    Testing:

    (dotimes (x 3)
    (dotimes (y 3)
    (print (list x y))))

    The right way: [Tested with Gauche Scheme and SBCL.]

    (do ((y 0 (if (= 2 y) 0 (+ 1 y)))
    (x 0 (+ x (if (= 2 y) 1 0))))
    ((> x 2))
    (print (list x y)))
