However the real question was of course if the same obarray is used for
symbols created by let variable declarations (did I get everything right

=> "symbol: nil -- property: t"
If `let' interned a new symbol in another obarray, the above would
answer: "symbol: nil -- property: nil". That would be very surprising.
A function call at arbitrary deep doesn't usually care whether a
symbol it's using was let-bound or not, only its value and other
properties. `let' is not advertised as binding anything other than a
symbol's value...
