You know, in many Lisps let is a macro too. In Clojure it expands to the special form let* (an implementation detail); a Scheme implementation might implement it as ((lambda (binding-symbol ...) expr . exprs) binding-val ...).
Now, would you expect the following to return (inc x) -- a list of two symbols -- or 2? (let [x 1] (inc x)) There's no promise arguments passed to macros will *never* be evaluated, that would make no sense at all. They're just not being evaluated at compile time.
