Let's not go too far with the Scheme analogies, since we're not talking 
about Scheme. :) The idea is just like var-hoisting, only the hoisting 
goes to the top of the nearest block, not the nearest function. Just 
like var-hoisting, the initializer expressions are just assignments that 
happen exactly where you wrote them. So indeed, like letrec*, the 
initializers are evaluated in order from top to bottom.

This is a detail that we should stamp out, I agree. I'll look for a trac 
ticket and file one if there isn't one.
