Description of the problem:
The book currently states that using an irrefutable pattern with an "if let" will cause the compiler to give an error: "This code is perfectly valid, although it means we cannot use an irrefutable pattern without receiving an error." However, this behavior was changed (in rust-lang/rust#44495) so that a warning is now produced.
Suggested fix:
From the above sentence, change "will cause the compiler to give an error" to "will cause the compiler to give a warning".
