while_let_loop: Include let assignment in suggestion (#14756)

Jarcho · web-flow · commit beaf15532abe · 2025-05-28T16:26:14.000Z
Placeholders are still given for the content of the whole block. However, if the result of the original `if let` or `match` expression was assigned, the assignment is reflected in the suggestion. No-op assignments (`let x = x;`) are skipped though, unless they contain an explicit type which might help the compiler (`let x: u32 = x;` is kept). Closes #362 changelog: [`while_let_loop`]: include `let` assignment in suggestion
