Using `while let` makes this sequence much nicer:

```rust,editable
// Make `optional` of type `Option<i32>`
let mut optional = Some(0);

// This reads: "while `let` destructures `optional` into
// `Some(i)`, evaluate the block (`{}`). Else `break`.
while let Some(i) = optional {
if i > 9 {
println!("Greater than 9, quit!");
optional = None;
} else {
println!("`i` is `{:?}`. Try again.", i);
optional = Some(i + 1);
fn main() {
// Make `optional` of type `Option<i32>`
let mut optional = Some(0);

// This reads: "while `let` destructures `optional` into
