Yes, that was my intention, especially with regard to Ruby 1.9 and its
local block parameters - those preceded with ";". I think the changes
on those parameters are limited to inside the block, aren't they? Then
my Ruby-method "let" has much in common with Scheme's syntactical form
"let", therefore the name. But nevertheless I'd prefer one of Ruby's
standard library function, if there's one which behaves in a similar
way. Is there one?
