Hear, hear! In OCaml, I can (and often do) write

In Haskell I'll have to uniquely number the s's:

         let (x,s1)  = foo 1 [] in
         let (y,s2)  = bar x s1 in
         let (z,s3)  = baz x y s2 in ...

This isn't a case for non-recursive let.  It is one of the rare cases
where you might actually consider using a state monad.

Except when you are implementing the state monad (giggle):
