Well, typically you don't start with a let:

   module M {A B : Set}
            (f : A → B)
            let open X f in
            (p : P f)
            where

I assume that you don't want to drop let from the syntax of expressions.
I don't want to use different notation for the same thing, depending on
whether I happen to be writing a telescope or an expression.

I think I would find this more appealing if "let" was removed entirely
(but that would be a rather disruptive change).
