Description
We need to be able to handle the nightly extract_if feature for Rust-for-Linux, as it makes use of it
https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/vec/struct.ExtractIf.html
One difficulty will be once again to "fake" this feature as it is not present in core 1.49. I'm not sure how we're going to inject an entire module into the compiler so we need to figure that out as well.
I don't think there is that much code that we can't handle so that should be okay

Research direction
Start by reading the nightly Rust ExtractIf documentation and reviewing how gccrs handles features absent from core 1.49. Determine how the ExtractIf/extract_if module can be made available to Rust-for-Linux, then verify that the feature is accepted and usable despite the older core version.
