The main disadvantage of this solution is that, in
 Haskell, some keywords (`let', `case', `where', and `do')
 trigger the layout rule and now `dynamic' or `nonrec'
 would have to trigger the layout rule, but *only* when
 appearing after a `let'. *urgh*
Am I the only one who uses braces/semicolons? Anyway, I would be using 
this under [Just use let]:
let
        {
        ?base = 10;
        }
     in addBase 5
If I read you correctly, under [Add a special identifier], I'd have to do 
this:
let
        {
        nonrec
            {
            ?base = 10;
            }
        }
     in addBase 5
...which is just ugly.
The intention was to make it

     let nonrec 
        {
        ?base = 10;
        }
      in addBase 5
