So should we discard all the SRFI 2 semantics relating to empty
body expressions?  Currently, we have:

    (maybe-let* ())     => (just unspecified)
    (maybe-let* (claw)) => claw

These forms are not explicitly allowed by SRFI 189--they're all
and-let* artifacts (and you have to go through Oleg's formal semantics
to know that and-let* allows them).  We could eliminate them from
the implementation (a significant simplification, too) without
changing the documnent.

Side note: SRFI 2 is definitely a little weird.
