Before adding syntax to "let", is the following idiom satisfactory
instead?
(let* ((y (foo x))
(z (begin (display y)
(bar-trashing-argument! y))))
z)
Or I suppose there's the bind-zero-values case supported by the
implementation I posted yesterday, but its use here is kludgey:
(let* ((y (foo x))
( (begin (display y) (values)))
(z (bar-trashing-argument! y)))
z)
