Well, it compiles to something similar…

…for instance, it reads,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guix-user)> (macroexpand
'(let* ((my-target "something")
       (my-target (mutate-once my-target))
       (my-target (mutate-twice my-target)))
 (do-something-with my-target)))

$1= #<tree-il 
(let (my-target) (my-target-11e760207b4c89cb-114)
     ((const "something"))
     (let (my-target) (my-target-11e760207b4c89cb-116)
          ((call (toplevel mutate-once) (lexical my-target my-target-11e760207b4c89cb-114)))
          (let (my-target) (my-target-11e760207b4c89cb-118)
               ((call (toplevel mutate-twice) (lexical my-target my-target-11e760207b4c89cb-116)))
               (call (toplevel do-something-with) (lexical my-target my-target-11e760207b4c89cb-118)))))>
