Hello,
Installed, thanks. I edited your commit message to be more specific
about what you changed.
I realised though that we are missing one of the features of these
macros: you can also just write a symbol in the list, and it means to
proceed if that symbol is already bound to a true value. E.g.
(let ((foo t))
(when-let* ((hello "hello")
foo)
(message hello)))
If in the first line you bind foo to nil instead, then 'message' is not
called. I can't remember where this is documented, but it is somewhere..
It would be good to have it in the manual too, if you would consider
working on it.
