Same as for any other place where you might declare a variable that you
don't actually use: make sure the var's name starts with an underscore.
This tells the compiler that you're aware of the fact the var is not
used (but still want this variable there for some reason; e.g. in
dotimes and dolist you don't have the choice not to put a variable
there).

Traditionally for `dotimes`, I'd then use `_` as the variable name
unless I really want to give a hint to the reader about what kind of
things I'm counting like (dotimes (_column-nb ...) ...).
