What if there's some computation in there, but such that should be 
performed at compile time? I still prefer the outside let whenever I want 
to make dead sure it's not getting reallocated on each call. If there was 
some well-specified and easily understood guarantee (for example, like the 
one Java has for compile-time constants), only then I would prefer the 
inner let.
