What does it mean to execute a `(let ((xxx 2))' ?  I think I need to
read the thread again, because I am really not getting it.

Dunno.  I was thinking that we could have a special form to return a
list of the identifiers in scope.  Or perhaps, some syntax-bindings
procedure, to operate on syntax objects.  A macro could use that data to
make a closure that captures all of the bindings, if that's your thing.
