Why? It would work on some implementations while it wouldn't work on
others. The same is true for parts of UFFI or various other
cross-implementation libraries.

I personally think that the loop extensions are nice to have. Given
SBCL's relation to CMUCL it shouldn't be too hard to make the
extensions available there. Also, there is my code (which I myself got
from Xanalys support) for a LispWorks loop extension in Paul Foley's
BerkeleyDB package. This could be used as a basis for LW. So we'd have
four implementation covered already.
