I was surprised to find that buffer-local variables take precedence over
let-bound variables in some instances?  If doing

(let ((minor-modes 1))
  (with-current-buffer "some-other-buffer"
    minor-modes))

will return the buffer-local variable in that other buffer, and not the
let-bound one?

Then perhaps that variable should be renamed to something longer and
convoluted...  even if it seemed like a perfect pairing with
`major-mode'/`minor-modes'.

Opinions?
