+Another benefit: `if let` allows to match enum non-parameterized variants, even if the enum doesn't `#[derive(PartialEq)]`, neither we implement `PartialEq` for it. In such case, classic `if Foo::Bar==a` fails, because instances of such enum are not comparable for equality. However, `if let` works.
+
+Would you like a challenge? Fix the following example to use `if let`:
+
+```rust,editable,ignore
+// This enum purposely doesn't #[derive(PartialEq)],
+// neither we implement PartialEq for it. That's why comparing Foo::Bar==a fails below.
+enum Foo {Bar}
+
+fn main() {
+    let a = Foo::Bar;
+
+    // Variable a matches Foo::Bar
+    if Foo::Bar == a {
+    // ^-- this causes a compile-time error. Use `if let` instead.
+        println!("a is foobar");
+    }
+}
+```
