FWIW, this was brought up in the original thread.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-08/msg00228.html
IMO the original suggestion of having if-let and when-let be exclusively
single binding, while the starred versions excluding the single binding
special case would be more sane.
P.S. I just realized I didn't copy the tuple part of if-let* into
and-let* in the patch I just sent, and therefore missed the problem this
special case causes in tests.
