It can instead be written as `fn r#match(needle: &str, haystack: &str)`, using
the `r#match` raw identifier, and the compiler will accept this as a true
`match` function.

Matching enum variants
Using the match keyword, we can do pattern matching on enums. The following function takes the Example enum as an argument:
fn matcher(x: Example) {
match x {
Example::This => println!("We got This."),
Example::That => println!("We got That."),
}
}
We can pass the matcher function a...
