This is great advice, of course. On the other hand, I feel it's important to be explicitly clear about which forms will hold on to (seemingly) transient data. Certain things are explicitly clear about this (such as the docstring for doseq), and this particular case is unfortunate because in the common case, loop doesn't hold on to the reference. I think the inconsistency in this case is dangerous, especially since loop/recur is the generic iteration construct.
