This manual already says, in the previous subsection:
Local variables created by a ‘let’ expression retain their value
_only_ within the ‘let’ expression itself (and within expressions called
within the ‘let’ expression); the local variables have no effect outside
the ‘let’ expression.
Doesn't this cover the issue?
