I believe that this cost is very, very high.
Oh come on! The contrived cost of (eq ?A 65) changing from t to nil
was much higher, and yet it was changed without too much pain.
A related issue: I thought, okay, then let's support old ELisp
and
new-<lisp-flavour-here>-Elisp.
Of course we'll support old elisp. Elisp's mapcar will have to map
strings, while CL one doesn't, etc. So I agree with you, I just don't
agree with the particular argument you stick to (`let').
