I've already lobbied for maybe-and-let* (which may be abbreviated to
maybe-let*), so I am in favor of these macros.

Maybe-and-let* should unwrap the Justs when binding to the variables.

Note that we can get rid of maybe-and maybe-or if we change the
semantics of SRFI 189 and set Nothing := #f. It doesn't reduce the
expressiveness of Maybe types in any important way. Moreover, it may
help to tame the zoo of falsy values. Currently, we have #f, #<eof>,
Nothing, (). Some implementations add #<void>. This is already more
than in Javascript with False, Null, and Undefined.

As the SRFI is not finalized yet, I would add them to this SRFI.  It
doesn't cost anything.
