let vs let*

I stumbled upon let* while learning about macros.
Consider the following code:

(defmacro somemacro []
    (list 'let ['somevar "Value"] 'somevar))
(macroexpand '(somemacro))

Result:

(let* [somevar "Value"] somevar)

What does let* mean? Unluckily, it does not seem to be documented anywhere... As a helpful member of StackOverflow explained to me, let* is used to implement let. The addition of let vs. let*, is that let is capable of destructuring the parameters, which let* does not do. Consider the following example:

(let [[a b c & d :as e] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]] [a b c d e])

Result:

[1 2 3 (4 5 6 7) [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]]

(let* [[a b c & d :as e] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]] [a b c d e])

Result:

CompilerException java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
Bad binding form, expected symbol, 
got: [a b c & d :as e], compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:1:1)
