[Maxima] New function - makelist alternative: table()ing Lisp ECL 9.4.1

[Richard Fateman]

I'm surprised that create_list is used so heavily in a Maxima program.  
If so, it seems that other possibilities, like creating
arrays or vectors might be advantageous.  (It depends on what operations 
are most common -- e.g. if pre-pending to a list
is common, then a list is good.  If indexing into the middle of a 
sequence is common, then an array is better.)

Anyway, an alternative to create_list  might be using something that 
creates an array.

I once again suggest that the common lisp loop macro in all its glory be 
looked at as a source of inspiration.
