Sanity Check

Bad idea?
(defmacro letret (return-binding bindings &body body)
  `(let ,(cons return-binding bindings)
     ,@body
     ,(first return-binding)))

(defmacro letret* (return-binding bindings &body body)
  `(let* ,(cons return-binding bindings)
     ,@body
     ,(first return-binding)))

it does seem limited, since you can only return the first binding, which may not always be possible.
OP here, yeah, that's technically a limitation. The idea was to rejigger the case where you have a long let operating on some data, and then just a variable name at the end to return it. It bugs me for some reason. I figure: why not make the intent explicit up front?
