I didn't understand what you wanted to begin with, so to summarize: you want to
be able to bind the return value of `returnsResult()` to a constant on the
`else` branch if the pattern doesn't match.
I definitely see the use case here, but I can't say I like the implicit use of
`it`. If we did something like this, I would prefer it be done by decorating
the `else`:
guard case let .Succeed(m) = returnsResult() else let r {
return r
}
However, I'm honestly not sure that's much less burdensome than this:
let r = returnsResult()
guard case let .Succeed(m) = r else {
return r
}
It *is* a line less, and a constant less, but it also means adding a new and
slightly funky syntax to the language. I'm just not sure it's worth it.
