As others, I am not convinced with the proposal (given the amount of
boxes marked "Translation" in the Haskell report, I wish we had a
standard way to handling syntactic rewrites; it could come handy in
yours and many more cases).
But I am interested in newcomers and their introduction to the language:
did they get confused by `let` or just pointed it out as superfluous?
