Sorry, here's a correct example:

(let ((file-name-handler-alist '(("" . (lambda (operation &rest args)
                                         (let (file-name-handler-alist)
                                           (apply operation args)))))))
  (insert-file-contents "~/.emacs"))

 => insert-file-contents: Wrong type argument: symbolp,\
    (lambda (operation &rest args) (let (file-name-handler-alist)\
    (apply operation args)))
