Would there be any interest in renaming these to `if-let*' and `when-let*', and adding parallel-binding versions under the current names? It's obviously a tiny matter in the scheme of things, but I do think it's worth sticking to the existing naming convention given the history and context. (If this change would be welcome, and nobody beats me to it, I would be happy to submit a patch and copyright assignment.) Thanks -- John Mastro
