I'm not sure I got your idea.  As long as the initialization is in the
iteration body, it should be assigned in every iteration.  Maybe you
want:

  let{<p=list> 5.times do p p; p=p.next end}

or

  let{p:=list; 5.times do p p; p=p.next end}

?  But are they really useful?

Show me.  I'm always open, and but still deserve the right to
like/dislike ideas. ;-)
