   I think we should make sure we keep the reference to let*, indeed.

That just causes confusion, LET* bindings can be changed, they do not
support a spec binding that is of the form VALUEOFORM (which in a
LET/LET* binding would be SYMBOL).  They are not similar at all.

Leaving out references to LET and just explaining how the binding spec
actually works would be much better, and not lead to confusion.

   Would one of you kindly combine them, and also post it as an actual
   diff?
