On a related note, is it possible to improve the indentation of  
grouped loop clauses?  For example:

(loop for cited-title in (gather-referrenced-titles entries)
       for target-entries = (gethash cited-title title/entry-hash)
       unless target-entries
         collect cited-title into orphans
       else when (> (length target-entries) 1)
         collect cited-title into ambiguities
       finally (return (values orphans ambiguities))))

OTOH perhaps I overuse LOOP ;-)

Further examples (including nested clauses, although I rarely/never  
use those): <http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/
