Hi,
I've added two functions in `subr-x`, `while-let` and `while-let*`.
`(while-let SPEC BODY)` evaluate each binding in turn and stop if a
binding value is nil.
BODY is evaluated repeatedly until a binding value is nil.
`(while-let* VARLIST BODY)` is like `while-let` except VARLIST is of
the form ((SYMBOL SOMETHING) ...).
Example:
Suppose we've a list, (setq xs '(1 2 3 4 5)), the following while-let form
(while-let ((x (pop xs)))
(print x))
is equivalent to
(while (when-let ((x (pop xs)))
(print x)
t))
The last expression `t` is added so that regardless of the return value
of the last form in BODY, the while loop continues, unless a binding
value is nil.
