We simulate it in the following way:
1- An opaque 'let'-expressions (let x : t := v in b) is encoded as
((fun (x : t), b) v)
We also use a macro (let-macro) to mark this pattern.
Thus, the pretty-printer knows how to display it correctly.
2- Transparent 'let'-expressions are eagerly expanded by the parser.

Before this commit, we "stored" macro arguments using applications.
This representation had some issues. Suppose we use [m a] to denote a macro
application. In the old representation, ([m a] b) and [m a b] would have
the same representation. Another problem is that some procedures (e.g., type inference)
would not have a clean implementation.
