Normally, I would say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. IIRC, sloop was
very subtly different from ANSI loop, so it's not clear if changing
sloop to loop is harmless.
>From what you way, nowhere in src is sloop still used, but's still used
in the share packages. Since I consider the share packages as (very
useful) add-ons contributed by users, I would say it's up to the
contributors to update their code appropriately if they so desire.
It's really harmless for us to keep sloop around.
