FWIW, `alist-get` suffers from the same kind of problem.
If we want `cl-letf` to work well with "fancy" gv-places, we need to
make the gv-expanders aware of the `let` case so they can provide
special code for it.

Not sure it's worth the trouble.

Of course, the case of `alist-get` is somewhat different since it's
already useful with `setf`.
