Do we need "let" that does not allow forward reference and "def" that does? E.g. so you don't have to define functions before you use them? If so, what do we do about:

let a b+2
def b a+2

???

Or a perhaps more serious case:

<<< fun 2
let a fun 1
define fun n-> a+n

With let a 3 this should totally work and display 5.
But as it stands it should not work. How do we detect the difference and what sort of error should it be?
