I think of let() as a bit of a crutch that lets us express this kind of
thing. A more natural way of talking about threads (even if it was just
a pointcut primitive thread(Thread) with which you could bind the
current thread) would have been preferable. Think of the syntactic
solution Michael Martin mentioned in his reply to you -- that would have
solved the problem without relying on let().
