In a previous discussion of "let" I asked that people take
a look at the macro mechanism in the 'e' language, which
(as far as I can tell) is well-defined and more than meets
the requirements for 'let'.  Unfortunately there did not
appear to be any further consideration of this.  Now that
'e' is a published IEEE standard (1647) it seems foolish
not to look at an effective and applicable piece of 
prior art.
