At the moment you can write multiple let statements as follows:

let (foo = 10)
let (bar = 42)
  foo + bar

Provide a shorthand for writing out multiple let statements:

let (foo = 10,
     bar = 42)
  foo + bar

This is a suggestion for notation. The main thing would be to reduce the number of let expressions required to define a bunch of values.

A common syntax in languages that have a let expression is to have a let .. in ... syntax:

let 
    foo = 10
    bar = 42
in
    foo + bar
