It's an adjective, in Nice we use it as a pronoun.

If that was the case then why have "let" at all? 
Presumably we think it will help prevent errors.

Yes, that would definitely be a mistake. The question is where to catch
the mistake. It seems that in some circumstances the compiler will be
able to detect this, and in others it won't. (I may have intended to
override the method in a subtype, the method is already covered by
supertype implementations.) 

So we still need to write tests.
