Okay, Kenny, you old SOB, here is my final submission to your
obfuscated LOOP contest:

(LOOP FOR WITH =
'(LOOP FOR WITH = '(LOOP FOR WITH) FOR AND IN WITH FOR = = AND FOR
FINALLY =
AND COLLECT FINALLY INTO IF FINALLY
(RETURN
(LOOP FOR IN IN IF WHEN (EQUAL IN ''(LOOP FOR WITH)) COLLECT
(LIST 'QUOTE WITH) ELSE COLLECT IN)))
FOR AND IN WITH FOR = = AND FOR FINALLY = AND COLLECT FINALLY INTO IF
FINALLY
(RETURN
(LOOP FOR IN IN IF WHEN (EQUAL IN ''(LOOP FOR WITH)) COLLECT
(LIST 'QUOTE WITH) ELSE COLLECT IN)))

Reminds me of something you could write in PL/I, which didn't reserve
any of its keywords, either:

IF IF =
THEN THEN THEN =
ELSE; ELSE ELSE =
END; END
