Michael Sperber scripsit:

Or even better, "loop".

> As this would break many existing Scheme programs, the report might
> introduce the separate form, and, to ease the transition, keep named
> `let' for now, either putting it into a separate library alongside
> (r6rs mutable-pairs) or at least marking it as deprecated and likely
> to disappear in a future revision of the report.
