Should we do this in GHC too?  For 6.2 maybe?

I'd love to see it stay, because it is syntactically oh-so-much-nicer 
than `let' in practice.

However, having lost that battle previously (albeit for the wrong 
reasons, of course ;-), I can't think of a good reason to keep it.  And 
besides, it bugs Sven, so lets take it out of GHC (for 6.2) as well.
