Yes, as I mentioned, it's like an `if` with multiple bindings, but I don't force intermediate variable names. That example is in the article. :P

edit: Wait, it's not in the article, I rewrote it and removed that section. My apologies! Anyway, yes, it's like that.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by multiple bindings? With if-let, binding to the variable is conditional, and it only happens if all parts of the chain return an actual value. Otherwise, as soon as one returns null, a jump can be made to the alternative branch. Am I missing something?
