Propose by-default usage of `let` over `var`.

The intent and meaning of both keywords is clear, but *let-by-default*
results in safer and clearer code.

This is simple, subtle, but IMHO important. I wasn't sure how much code sample you wanted for such a small thing, so I kept it pretty basic. If you choose to merge, feel free to edit and/or change the formatting.
After some pondering the question, I came to the same conclusion.
