Issue type: Defect
Priority: Major
Component: Base Library
Report version: 5.91
Summary:  letrec* and letrec explained identically in 9.5.6

In 9.5.6 (p. 32), the text reads "in a letrec* and in a letrec expression",
suggesting that something was to be supplied for letrec* but was not.
I suggest something like "all bindings are in effect, but evaluations
are performed sequentially" for letrec*.
