Land: <rdar://problem/19382905> improve 'if let' to support refutable patterns and untie it from optionals This changes 'if let' conditions to take general refutable patterns, instead of taking a irrefutable pattern and implicitly matching against an optional. Where before you might have written: if let x = foo() { you now need to write: if let x? = foo() { The upshot of this is that you can write anything in an 'if let' that you can write in a 'case let' in a switch statement, which is pretty general. To aid with migration, this special cases certain really common patterns like the above (and any other irrefutable cases, like "if let (a,b) = foo()", and tells you where to insert the ?. It also special cases type annotations like "if let x : AnyObject = " since they are no longer allowed. For transitional purposes, I have intentionally downgraded the most common diagnostic into a warning instead of an error. This means that you'll get: t.swift:26:10: warning: condition requires a refutable pattern match; did you mean to match an optional? if let a = f() { ^ ? I think this is important to stage in, because this is a pretty significant source breaking change and not everyone internally may want to deal with it at the same time. I filed 20166013 to remember to upgrade this to an error. In addition to being a nice user feature, this is a nice cleanup of the guts of the compiler, since it eliminates the "isConditional()" bit from PatternBindingDecl, along with the special case logic in the compiler to handle it (which variously added and removed Optional around these things).
