* Is setq-default within a dynamic let-binding supposed to work?

(let ((foo 'bar)) (setq-default foo 'baz))
foo → Lisp error: (void-variable foo)

Is that behavior correct? Or maybe you're not supposed to do that, and the behavior is undefined?

Looks correct, yes, since `foo' is not made buffer-local, so
`setq-default' is just like `setq'.
