> What aw wants is a more semantic change where vars `a`, `b` and `c` have the same scope. At least that's how I interpreted OP.

Just to clarify, in my original design a `var` would expand into a `let` (with the body of the let extending down to the bottom of the enclosing form), and thus the definitions wouldn't have the same scope.

Which isn't to say we couldn't do something different of course :)

Huh, I thought I had fixed the formatting in post, but apparently it didn't get saved. Too late to edit it now.
