Leave it as it is > now, go back to what we had before, something else? If you want another opinion: I find the name mildly confusing too. It has the potential that people write broken code (vs. we brake code because of this change now). And I think this is that kind of thing that tends to be discussed again and again. But it is definitely an extremely rarely used macro. FWIW, I can't remember the name for other reasons, I always search for something named "fluid-let" (Scheme) or "dynamical-let" (vs. "lexical-let" we had in the past) - but that may be only me.
