What about just explaining the the dynamic `let' and the lexical
(static) let? Theory doesn't help IME.

With the lexical `let', those variables stay _here_ ...

Unless they are already dynamic/special.

Don't see any other use case of dynamic/special variables than
options, but then isn't it that they are _global_ and now set
temporarily to whatever value for the duration of the scope
defined by the opening and closing parenthesis?

So one should drop the talk of dynamic/special vs
lexical/static and instead have one `locals' (with the same
syntax and as let, but always lexical/static, even for
dynamic/special ones) and then one `options', also with the
same syntax, to set globals for a limited scope.

That covers the global variables and the local ones so what's
more to cover?
