Fluid-Let
=========

  `(require 'fluid-let)'

 - Syntax: fluid-let `(BINDINGS ...)' FORMS...

     (fluid-let ((VARIABLE INIT) ...)
        EXPRESSION EXPRESSION ...)

  The INITs are evaluated in the current environment (in some
unspecified order), the current values of the VARIABLEs are saved, the
results are assigned to the VARIABLEs, the EXPRESSIONs are evaluated
sequentially in the current environment, the VARIABLEs are restored to
their original values, and the value of the last EXPRESSION is returned.

  The syntax of this special form is similar to that of `let', but
`fluid-let' temporarily rebinds existing VARIABLEs.  Unlike `let',
`fluid-let' creates no new bindings; instead it _assigns_ the values of
each INIT to the binding (determined by the rules of lexical scoping)
of its corresponding VARIABLE.
