Wasn't there a lot of discussion about 6 months to a year ago about
having LET accept &mumbles "at lots of levels"? When you say
"at all levels" do you mean that BIND-ARGS will also destructure?
If progress on LET is going to be forever bogged down in the red tape,
then how about doing BIND-ARGUMENTS at least one of the two ways
proposed for destructuring (and since you are using the &optional words,
you have more-or-less selected the data-pattern format rather than the SETF
format).
