 The `if let` syntax lets you combine `if` and `let` into a less verbose way to
 handle values that match one pattern while ignoring the rest. Consider the

 ```
 
+## Staying on the “happy path” with `let else`
+
+One common pattern is to perform some computation when a value is present and
+return a default value otherwise. Continuing on with our example of coins with a
+`UsState` value, if we wanted to say something funny depending on how old the
+state on the quarter was, we might introduce a method on `UsState` to check the
+age of a state, like so:
+
+```rust
+{{#rustdoc_include ../listings/ch06-enums-and-pattern-matching/listing-06-07/src/main.rs:state}}
+```
+
+Then we might use `if let` to match on the type of coin, introducing a `state`
+variable within the body of the condition, as in Listing 6-7.
+
+<Listing number="6-7" caption="Using" file-name="src/main.rs">
+
+```rust
+{{#rustdoc_include ../listings/ch06-enums-and-pattern-matching/listing-06-07/src/main.rs:describe}}
+```
+
+</Listing>
+
+That gets the job done, but it has pushed the work into the body of the `if let`
+statement, and if the work to be done is more complicated, it might be hard to
+follow exactly how the top-level branches relate. We could also take advantage
+of the fact that expressions produce a value either to produce the `state` from
+the `if let` or to return early, as in Listing 6-8. (You could do similar with a
+`match`, of course!)
+
+<Listing number="6-8" caption="Using `if let` to produce a value or return early." file-name="src/main.rs">
+
+```rust
+{{#rustdoc_include ../listings/ch06-enums-and-pattern-matching/listing-06-08/src/main.rs:describe}}
+```
+
+</Listing>
+
+This is a bit annoying to follow in its own way, though! One branch of the `if
+let` produces a value, and the other one returns from the function entirely.
+
+To make this common pattern nicer to express, Rust has `let`-`else`. The
+`let`-`else` syntax takes a pattern on the left side and an expression on the
+right, very similar to `if let`, but it does not have an `if` branch, only an
+`else` branch. If the pattern matches, it will bind the value from the pattern
+in the outer scope. If the pattern does *not* match, the program will flow into
+the `else` arm, which must return from the function.
+
+In Listing 6-9, you can see how Listing 6-8 looks when using `let`-`else` in
+place of `if let`. Notice that it stays “on the happy path” in the main body of
+the function this way, without having significantly different control flow for
+two branches the way the `if let` did.
