I clearly have my languages mixed up.

The language I'm thinking of required all variables (even top-level 
ones) to be declared with "let" - unless the definition is recursive, in 
which case you have to say "letrec" (i.e., the compiler it too stupid to 
deduce this automatically). Apparently that isn't Clean...
