Does info '(guile)Local Bindings' answer this question? :P
We might want to make it so that '(guile)let' shows this node
otherwise.

I don't think let-binding is such a complicated concept.  It is exactly
what it says on the tin: Using the let syntax to bind a variable. 
Furthermore, even if you don't understand the term on its own, Maxime
went on to state the question at hand in more detail, from which you
could infer the difference between "let-binding" and not "let-binding".
