let introduces a statement

I changes *expression* to *statement* to make more accurate, because in Rust, `let` introduces a declaration statement.

In many languages, a variable binding would be called a *variable*, but Rusts
variable bindings have a few tricks up their sleeves. For example the
left-hand side of a `let` expression is a [pattern][pattern], not a
left-hand side of a `let` statement is a [pattern][pattern], not a
variable name. This means we can do things like:
```rust
let (x, y) = (1, 2);
```
After this expression is evaluated, `x` will be one, and `y` will be two.
After this statement is evaluated, `x` will be one, and `y` will be two.
Patterns are really powerful, and have [their own section][pattern] in the
book. We dont need those features for now, so well keep this in the back
of our minds as we go forward.
