| In Dylan you need to do this as multiple statements:
| 
| let (a, b, c) = foo();
| let (d, e)    = bar(a, b, c);
| let (f, g, h) = baz(d, e);
+---------------

In MzScheme (or anything with "let*-values"), you can do:

	(let*-values (((a b c) (foo))
		      ((d e) (bar a b c))
		      ((f g h) (baz d e)))
	  ...use f,g,h... )
