#### 3.4`` letrec, let, and let*

( letrec ([id expr-for-let] ...) expr)

Similar to local, but essentially omitting the define for each definition.

A expr-for-let can be either an expression for a constant definition or a lambda form for a function definition.

( let ([id expr-for-let] ...) expr)

Like letrec, but the defined ids can be used only in the last expr, not the expr-for-lets next to the ids.

( let* ([id expr-for-let] ...) expr)

Like let, but each id can be used in any subsequent expr-for-let, in addition to expr.
