Allow it in any functions

[i582]

Describe the feature

Imagine you have the following function:

fn get_widget_by_condition(cb fn (widget Widget) bool)

Right now, the only way to call it is to write the following code:

get_widget_by_condition(fn (widget Widget) bool) {
    return widget.id == 'button-1'
})

For a simple condition, you need to write a lot of extra code.

The language already has a magic variable it that works in some array methods:

[1,2,3].map(it.str())

So we can extend this syntax to all functions.

And the example from the beginning would look like this:

get_widget_by_condition(it.id == 'button-1')

Much more readable and faster to write.

am I correct in inferring that you want to "allow it syntax to define predicates"?
