    In Scheme we can use fluid-let to implement Elisp-style dynamic binding.
    The only difference with Elisp is that you use `fluid-let' instead
    of `let' when binding a variable dynamically.

Could you show me precisely what this looks like, and explain it?
It might be a good approach, but I don't know enough now to judge.
