I'm worried that you want a "good" language at any circumstance, which is not even generally possible but also at odds with other aspects of languages. This still counts as minor for me because it is just slightly annoying and doesn't make something impossible or much harder to read (and the readability varies enough that this threshold is much higher than this case).

Yes, I do want a good programming language. I agree its relatively minor compared to the other issues I talked about in the blog post. In what way is this at odds with other aspects of the language? If its at odds with the rest of the language, why is this feature being added? https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2497-if-let-chains.html https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2497-if-let-chains.html
