As the one who wrote the original version of that code (it transforms list
comprehensions to nested recursive functions) I must say I don't really see
the problem. To me it seems more like a theoretical problem, when coding I
just do it. That is not where the problems lay when coding, not for me at
least.
Then maybe I am totally miljöförstörd, ruined by my programming environment.

P.S. Of course if you were to use LFE then the problem would go away for
free as you have let*. :-)
