Loon is a functional language with Hindley-Milner type inference
("invisible types"), safe ownership, and algebraic effects. This adds
it as a fifth column alongside SML, OCaml, F#, and Haskell, filling
all 135 feature rows with idiomatic Loon (https://loon-lang.org).

The first pass only covered the 135 rows using [[# anchor]] labels. The ml sheet also has ~102 rows using [#anchor label] or plain-text labels (arrays, currying/composition, if/while/for/loop, exceptions, file & directory I/O, records, objects, repl). Those are now filled, so every comparison row has a Loon column and the table is structurally uniform (6 cells per row). Also corrected ~10 entries that did not match the loon 0.6 runtime: fold arg order, no binary min/max, no vector index-update, Some/None require a top-level Option declaration, pair access via destructuring.

Summary
Adds Loon as a fifth column to the
markup/mlfunctional-languages sheet, alongside SML, OCaml, F#, and Haskell.
Loon is a functional language with Hindley-Milner type inference
("invisible types" — no annotations), safe ownership (move semantics
with inferred borrows), and algebraic effects with handlers. Uniform
bracket syntax:
[f a b].[[# anchor]],[#anchor label], and plain-text labels)to span the new column; table is structurally uniform (6 cells/row)
