[CM] When does a let get created?

[Iain Duncan]

Don't know if this is helpful because I doubt this is new to you, but I
have done something like the below:

; returns inner let
(define (my-obj arg val)
  (let ((arg val) (foo 'bar))
    (curlet)))

In my use case it's bigger because I actually have objects that can return
their let on a specific message to allow monkey patching them from the repl.
