It is faster to type (fewer chars), and easier to edit, and
more easy to read because not so packed with parenthesis.
Overall faster, less error-prone.

Another example could be, instead `let'/`let*', "wet":

(wet
  var1 0
  var2 (some-lisp)
  )

It is always like `let*' so no more annoying errors based
on that!

It comes in two forms, either

(wet
  var1 0
  var2 (some-lisp)
    (some-lisp-body)
  )

where var1 and var2 would be bound in the Lisp
(some-lisp-body), or just

(wet
  var1 0
  var2 (some-lisp)
  )

Where they would be valid for the rest of where ever you place
it - the rest of the `defun', for example.
