Before this looks too much like concensus, I don't like the name ``reclet'' at
all and am perfectly happy with it being a special case of the LET syntax.
``reclet'' doesn't sound different enough from ``letrec'' to accomodate the
great difference in semantics.  I can't see how the average newcomer to the
language is going to be able to keep them straight.

Why are folks so keen on changing the name?
