Hello, Drew.
Just a quick point.

Do we even allow the syntax (let ((foo))...)? If we do, then why?
There's (let (foo)...) and (let ((foo nil))...) for binding a symbol to
nil.
We made (setq foo) invalid some while ago. Why not similarly make (let
((foo))...) invalid? That would solve at least part of this problem,
is easy to do. and is almost certainly harmless.
