You can just move this extra logic arranging :results to
org-babel-execute:clojure.

:var defines are affecting how the code is written. :results should not.
So, :var is expected to affect tangling.
If necessary, code block expansion can be disabled via :no-expand header
argument:

       By default Org expands code blocks during tangling.  The ‘no-expand’
    header argument turns off such expansions.  Note that one side-effect of
    expansion by ‘org-babel-expand-src-block’ also assigns values (see *note
    Environment of a Code Block::) to variables.  Expansions also replace
    noweb references with their targets (see *note Noweb Reference
    Syntax::).  Some of these expansions may cause premature assignment,
    hence this option.  This option makes a difference only for tangling.
    It has no effect when exporting since code blocks for execution have to
    be expanded anyway.

I think that keeping `let' should be fine as long as it does not break
things. In the previous discussion, the whole issue was that `let' was
not always safe in that particular lisp dialect.

We just need to make sure that it is documented.
