As has slowly transpired in the meantime, there is no substitution for
the deprecated flet.  The new cl-flet does lexical instead of dynamical
binding of the function slot and the other alternatives have other
subtle differences that don't really seem to be documented in a single
place.

Thanks for this extensive explanation.  I don't know if that might
convince Stefan Monnier to un-deprecate letf, you'd not be the only one
to be rattling his cage on this issue.
