Good idea, Alastair. I'll do it.

| 
| Using
| 
|   do
|     let ?x=...
|     ...
| 
| doesn't seem to be allowed in GHC.
| 
| I've previously reported that implicit parameter bindings aren't
| allowed in 'where' bindings either.
| 
| Is there any good reason for these inconsistencies?  Wouldn't it be
| easier if let bindings, do-let bindings, where bindings, list
| comprehension let-bindings, etc. all allowed the same syntax?
