So for completeness we need:
slet - always static let
salet - static-adaptive let, defaults to static but don't
change dynamic global binidngs with the same name,
but binds new value for its reach
alet - adaptive let, defaults to static if `lexical-binding'
(which itself defautls to t), else defautls to
dynamic. Also don't change existing globals from
either binding styles into the other. (alet/alet* are
also aliased from `let'/`let*'.)
dalet - dynamic-adaptive let, defaults to dynamic, don't
change static
dlet - always dynamic
For clarity and practical day-to-day use we need:
Alias 'locals' to slet (locals as in local variables).
A wrapper function or macro called 'opts' (as in "with options
as") which will first check if such an option has been defined
as a dynamic/special variable (i.e. with `defvar' or already
existing in Emacs as an option, possibly defined in C even),
and if all do exit it will just be like `dlet' and new values
will be assieged for its reach and duration.
So then the code would look like this
(locals ((x 5)
(y 8) )
;; ...
(opts ((fill-column 10))
(fill-paragraph) )
;; ... )
and slet, salet, alet, dalet and dlet would seldom be used, at
least not directly, but they would be there for anyone who'd
want them.
