### What it is
Bind extends the idea of of `let` and destructing to provide
a uniform syntax for all your accessor needs. It combines
_let_, _destructuring-bind_, `with-slots`, `with-accessors`,
structure editing, property or association-lists, and
_multiple-value-bind_ and a whole lot more into a single
form. The [user guide][user-guide] has all the details but
here is example to whet your appetite:
(bind ((a 2)
((b &rest args &key (c 2) &allow-other-keys) '(:a :c 5 :d 10 :e 54))
((:values d e) (truncate 4.5)))
(list a b c d e args))
==> (2 :A 5 4 0.5 (:C 5 :D 10 :E 54))
Bind is especially handy when you have more than one layer of
`multiple-value-bind` or `destructuring-bind`. Since `bind` is a
single form, you don't end up too far off to the right in
editor land.
Bind is released under the [MIT license][mit-license].
