Hi Mattias
I can confirm that the calc that's in the current master branch
(development version for 28.1) fixes my problem. You hinted that there
were further problems too, but I have only checked that let* now seems
to work as intended. Also, to be fair, I have checked that only for my
own use case.
That was speedy work, thank you very much! Now I'll have to decide
whether to build emacs for Debian myself or whether to wait for Debian
to adopt emacs >= 28.1.
Cheers
Stephan
