* dynamic let closure not possible with `dlet', instead use lexical let and `setq'

1. You can't do a dynamic let closure with `dlet':

(dlet ((oh-ah "oa"))
  (defun ohah ()
    oh-ah)
  (declare-function ohah nil) )
;; (ohah) ; Symbol’s value as variable is void: oh-ah

2. You can do a lexical let closure with `let', but after that
   you cannot make any of its lexical variables dynamic with
   `dlet':
   
(let ((some-var 0))

  (defun outer ()
    (dlet ((some-var 1))
      (inner) ))
  (declare-function outer nil)

  (defun inner ()
    some-var)
  (declare-function inner nil) )

;; (outer) ; 0
;; (inner) ; 0

3. What you can do, is to keep the variable lexical and use it
   like a global variable with `setq':

(let ((some-var 2))

  (defun outer ()
    (setq some-var 4)
    (prog1
        (inner)
      (setq some-var 2) ))
  (declare-function outer nil)

  (defun inner ()
    some-var)
  (declare-function inner nil) )

;; (outer) ; 4
;; (inner) ; 2
