duplicated formals
Proposed:
The list of formal variables in LAMBDA, LET, LETREC, and DO (but not
LET*) should not contain duplications. E.g. (LAMBDA (X Y X) ...) is
illegal.
In the case of named LET, the formals in the initial bindings list
should be distinct, but it's OK (useless, however) if the "name"
is also a formal. E.g., (LET FOO ((X 1) (FOO 2)) ...) is legal.
Rationale: the constraints on the derived expression types should all
derive from the primitive expression type (namely LAMBDA) from which
they derive.
