      That’s not an alternative, it’s removing let-else entirely. It’s equivalent to this:

      let i = if let Some(i) = opt_number {
    i
} else {
    return 0;
};

      let-else is specifically a feature that allows you to use a refutable pattern to deconstruct a value by providing a diverging else branch.

        Being able to do to everything Rust does, but without Rust’s zoo of if-then-else, match, if-let, let-else etc.
