As currently written, yes. However, as noted previously in the Context Manager thread we are open to allowing arbitrary values in the CM position, which would fall back to just using that value and then unsetting it. That would effectively replace the `let` syntax entirely with a unified syntax. I have also voted No on this RFC, for many of the reasons already stated: * The functionality is too limited. * The functionality is inherently unreliable due to value escape. * The syntax is far too non-standard and clumsy. * Expanding CMs to fully encompass the behavior of this RFC is trivial, which would avoid redundant and confusing syntax. --Larry Garfield
