Yeah, I suppose so. Although I suppose it doesn't apply to DEFUN&
and DEFMACRO, there are often stylistic reasons for wanting to code
with LET rather than SETQ (always, for instances of GENTEMP in my
code). I suppose that means that a flavor of GENTEMP is desirable
which automatically does the putprop under :LOCAL-VAR that
SI:GEN-LOCAL-VAR does. Or else it means that the expansion of
SI:GEN-LOCAL-VAR shouldn't be doing the SETQ for itself.
Actually, I prefer the latter.
