let* already does what let does.
Dependencies aren't explicit anywhere: the only thing
let* does is saying there CAN be dependencies.
Because this is almost a worthless "red flag" that
carries minimal information, I'd say I'd use let all
the time if let was "let*".
The only reason for the distinction is if computation
was made in parallel, then let could allow that and
let* wouldn't.
However, if that was possible without OH to eat the
gain I would like a much more powerful construct than
let*, one which exactly identified what is dependent
on what.
