As starter suggestions for the keyword or syntax, I submit:

let new x = expr in body -- Not the old x!

It's not the old x in either case (recursive and non-recursive).

let shadowing x = expr in body

shadow x = expr in body

It's shadowing in either case.

let x =! expr in body -- The explosive bang gives an imperative flavor.

(=!) is a valid operator name.

Other suggestions would be welcome.
