as @code{setf} places; each will accept either an integer or a
marker as the stored value.)
+Like in the case of @code{let}, the @var{value} forms are evaluated in
+the order they appear, but the order of bindings is unspecified.
+Therefore, avoid binding the same @var{place} more than once in a
+single @code{cl-letf} form.

Since generalized variables look like lists, @code{let}'s shorthand
of using @samp{foo} for @samp{(foo nil)} as a @var{binding} would
be ambiguous in @code{cl-letf} and is not allowed.
