Go ahead and make a "let-assoc" package with the right headers. I'll add
it to the core (unless Stefan or someone else objects) and you can
independently add it to the GNU ELPA or wherever you want. It's a fairly
small package but maybe that's not a bad thing.

I don't think that would work.  It's too tightly bound to Emacs itself.
