I might, in fact, change my mind… The problem is that

1. @tim.holy points out that it is useful to have a top-level construct where code inside it works just like a function body.
2. Nobody really has a problem with how `let` works currently; loops are the only issue.

So we might need to be open to handling loops differently.
