"DEFLET"?



I would also like to object to the name "RECUR", and for the same reasons
given by Hal.

The "REC" in the name "LETREC" bothers me somewhat too, but in that case
the name at least suggests that it is the LETing that is recursive, rather
than any control structure.

I would prefer a name that emphasizes the naming aspect.  My personal
choice would be "LABEL", since that name was onced used in Lisp for a
similar construct, but I understand the objections.  Here are some naming
related word that I just pulled out of my thesaurus:
    
	ALIAS		APPELATION	CALLED
	DUB		ENTITLE		IDENTIFY
	MONIKER		TAG		TITLE

Anybody feel inspired?  You can try constructing names with these as roots.
How about "DUBBED-LET"? "LET-CALLED"?  (I kind of like just "MONIKER"...)

Taking another direction, how about a name that emphasizes that the thing
is a combination of LET and DEFINE?  Like "DEFLET"?
