Describe the bug

$> let 'a

$> a:
SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)

a: without arguments should return a Runtime error as for let 'a without arguments.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

arch: amd64/windows
version: v/0.9.83 b/331 @ 2023-03-30T15:09:55-03:00
