I think you'd first try to study loop or
(preferrably) iterate. Most preferrably,
iterate-keywords. They suggest more
general and very convinient tools for
iteration. E.g.
(iter
(:for x in list)
(:for i from 0)
... do-something ...)

There is already "bind" construct in
metabang-bind library, which suggests short
name for destructuring-bind and
multiple-value-bind.

You might want to take a look at
http://sparcs.kaist.ac.kr/~tinuviel/pleac/pleac.cgi?chapter=1§ion=1&ruby=on&commonlisp=on
The best place for this dictionary is in programmers head IMO.

The idea of generating short names is defective.
