Well, for me, `let*' is an indication that `let' is not enough. But
it's a minor point, agreed. I don't know about relative efficiency of
both.

Well, that is really strange. Could you explain the reason for this
space being there and not somewhere else?

Well, it's not standard, I'd think. And for me, `indentation' is at the

I just don't like this style. It's not something I'm accustomed to.
