I think it goes like

        (let-keywords '(#:foo "hello" #:xyzzy "world") #t
                      ((foo  "default for foo")
                       (bar  "default for bar"))
          foo => "hello"
          bar => "default for bar"

"allow-other-keywords" is whether it's an error to have something
unknown like #:xyzzy in the args.

I think the "let-keywords*" variant allows the default for one
variable to use the value of a previous one.

        (let-keywords* '(#:foo 1 #:xyzzy 2) #t
                       ((foo  1)
                        (bar  (+ foo 2)))
          foo => 1
          bar => 3

Would those help for the manual, or can anyone think of more typical
or clearer samples?
