Okay, okay, currently:
let
$ x $ compute 'x
use x
==
(let
((x (compute 'x))
(use x))
So, let's try the new formulation:

!!$ x $ compute 'x
!!use x

let
INDENT INDENT x INDENT compute 'x ; stack: (0 2 ? ?)
DEDENT DEDENT ; stack: (0 2), indentation = 2
use x

I have a *lot* of concerns with that particular construct.
Why?
