[swift-evolution] [Idea] if let value!

I am experimenting with this:

If var! anOptional {
   anOptional   // unwrapped, shadowing
}

if let! anOptional {
... // same
}


This compiler codebase is truly remarkable, so it should also works with

If var! opt1 where opt1 < 27 {
}

or 

if var! opt1, opt2 {
   // both unwrapped
}
