I thought they generally resulted in more or less the same bytecode, the
only difference being whether the "varbind" byte-ops were interleaved
with the init expressions, or all bunched up at the end...

E.g. `let' is:

   INIT1
   INIT2
   ....
   varbind V2
   varbind V1
   ....
   unbind N

and `let*' is:

   INIT1
   varbind V1
   INIT2
   varbind V2
   ....
   unbind N
