Each binding introduces a new name/value pair, which can shadow
previous name/value pairs.
I sometimes use let to introduce a modified version of a function
argument or sometimes when I'm conditionally building up a value:
(let [params [x y]
params (if some-arg? (conj params z) params)]
...)
Now we're on 1.5.1, I'll probably rewrite code like this to use cond->
(let [params (cond-> [x y]
some-arg? (conj z))]
...)
(once I've convinced myself that is correct!)
