According to maxima-package.lisp:
let* ;;"CL-MAXIMA-SOURCE: MAXIMA; LET" ;;maxima:let* does destructuring.
let ;;"CL-MAXIMA-SOURCE: MAXIMA; LET" ;;like let*
My guess is DESTRUCTURING-BIND was not available at the time. We should probably drop
MAXIMA::LET and MAXIMA::LET* in favour of the CL standard macros.
