First, let expressions as implemented in JS1.7 are ambiguous in a
bottom up grammar. See
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2008-October/007890.html
Second, let statements and expressions in JS1.7 are evaluated when
reached. They are not implicitly quoted for later application.
Third, let is the wrong keyword if there's no need to bind a name --
as there indeed is no need with many (most?) lambda use-cases.

I had kind of a similar thought about let statements. Would it be
possible to simply turn a let statement into an assignable/callable
value? Would that just break too many things? would it get us at least
close to the lambda functionality we seek?
