if let support

[thautwarm]

Just like that in Rust.

if let (a, b) = data {
    # do something if the case is matched.
}

perspective syntax proposals:

@when (a, b) = data begin
    # do something if the case is matched.
end
# or 
@if_let (a, b) = data begin
   # do something if the case is matched.
end

feel free to make a supplementary.

@findmyway I think when-let could be replaced by an if-let without else clause. The concept of if-let in Clojure might be better than Rust, I think, for it can accept not only a term of pattern matching but a normal bool expression is also valid.

So what's your ideal if-let syntax in Julia? @Roger-luo prefers keyword when, and so am I, but I'd admit that this could be personal preference(maybe if causes the aesthetic fatigue for its frequently regular usage).

If that is the case, when will be fine.
