       with b = (+ a 2) 
       with c = (+ b 3)
       return (list a b c))
=>  (1 3 6)

       and c = (+ b 3)
       return (list a b c))

;; This example shows a shorthand way to declare local variables 
;; that are of different types.
 (loop with (a b c) of-type (float integer float)
       return (format nil "~A ~A ~A" a b c))
=>  "0.0 0 0.0"

;; This example shows a shorthand way to declare local variables 
;; that are the same type.
