You can find links to the archive at
<URL:http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/iterate-devel>, but this
isn't a FAQ and the list is pretty young, anyway. (-:

That's an interesting question. I know no elisp port of
iterate.

Still, it would be possible to implement (I think). You would lose
some useful features (such as the package mechanism for user-defined
iterate keywords) but it ought to be possible, using the 'cl
extensions.

That doesn't mean that I'm going to do it, of course; but if more
people are interested, I'll try to provide advice to them, though {-:

Thank you for the compliment (-:
