Concerning the implementation I posted, I just realized that it
doesn't do the right thing with respect to declarations in the body of
the LET.  Those need to be parsed out of the body, and then the
internal WRAP-IT function needs to include them.  The code also ought
to check for IGNOREs in these declarations, just in case some idiot
binds a variable and then immediately ignores it.  All of this results
in an even more odious piece of code than already exists.
