I hate (a) typing a let and (b) giving up a level of indentation if I 
just need one local variable.

But I do not use &aux much. My b-if and b-when macros establish most of 
my local variables, and I strive anyway for a functional style.

Yikes. With values to be named at a later line of code? A finite state 
machine, perhaps?
