Hi all,
I'm a little bit confused about the semantic of if-let macro. 

Suppose to call it as follows with map destructoring:

(if-let [{key1 :key1} {:key2 "a string"}] 
   true 
   false))

It returns true. 

But,

(let [{key1 :key1} {:key2 "a string"}] 
   (if key1 
       true 
       false))

returns false.


The macro expansion of the former explains why

(macroexpand-1 '(if-let [{key1 :key1} {:key2 "a string"}] true false))

returns
(clojure.core/let [temp__3971__auto__ {:key2 "a string"}] (if 
temp__3971__auto__ (clojure.core/let [{key1 :key1} temp__3971__auto__] true) 
false))

the consequence, IMHO, is that I would never suggest to use map restructuring 
inside and if-let binding, because the syntax let me think the result its the 
opposite of its semantic,

Am I completely wrong?
