`named-let` being a looping construct, it makes little sense to use it in
dynamic binding where TCO opportunities are severely limited. Ideally we should
just signal an error if an attempt to use it in dynbound code is made. Users
will thank us for that (at least they should, if they have any sense).
Second-best would be to inhibit all TCO in dynbound code but whom would that
really benefit?
(Regarding your proposal, generating worse code in lexbind mode isn't a
wonderful outcome.)
