    James> Good. I was going to make the same suggestions.

FWIW, I have patch that renames this and replaces all uses of
destructuring with destructuring-let/desctructuring-let*.

I have no idea if this catches everything; there might be macros
creating LET forms that assume destructuring which aren't tested by
compiling maxima or the test.
