I have a related question.  What is the "cost" of using LET forms as
opposed to applying LAMBDAs?

(The reason I'm asking is that I believe CCL turns LET forms into LAMBDA forms).
I was under the impression that LET forms were more efficient than application
of LAMBDAs but, I would actually welcome a clarification.
