Anyway, as far as I'm seeing it's perfectly possible to implement let* consistent with the above behavior as a macro without mutation as such:

    (define-macro (let* bindings &rest body)
      (if (null? bindings)
        `(progn ,@body)
        `(let (,(car bindings))
           (let* ,(cdr bindings)
             ,@body))))
