[Haskell-cafe] "Assignment" in do blocks?

[Oleg Grenrus]

It’s not re-assigment, it’s rather feature request for non-rec-let (as let in Haskell is recursive)
and some pragma to say “yes, I do shadow name on purpose"

For example

fix f = let x = f x in x -- let is recursive
niceTry f = noreclet x = f x in x -- Not in scope: ‘x’
