Well, practically speaking, a slight problem is that it doesn't work
with cl's implementation of flet (which besides being very ugly, doesn't
actually implement lexical binding anyway).
Of course in conjunction with lexical binding, it would be good to have
a real implementation of flet.
Still, if you were using it for an entire file full of functions, issues
like the extra indentation (which is actually fairly large) and parens
could indeed be annoying.
