...Match Statements
Match statements are my favorite feature of Rust (by far).
Doesn't mean they can't be improved though. Someone who is
unfamiliar with Rust might write:
fn main() {
let mut a = 4;
match 5 {
a => unreachable!(),
b => println!("{}", b),
}
}
This code panics (which I still get confused...

...let [[x]] = &[&mut [()]]; // x: &()
Patterns such as this are said to be using match ergonomics, originally introduced in RFC 2005.
Under match ergonomics, as we incrementally match a pattern against a scrutinee, we keep track of the default binding mode. This mode can be one of move, ref mut, or...

...The macro is called matching!:
matching!(1, "2", 3.0)
It basically expands to a pattern match on the arguments, along with useful diagnostics in the case of an unsuccessful match.
Every string literal is matched using AsRef<str>.
The input matching was not the hardest part to design.

Matching a specific value from a union field makes a refutable pattern; naming
a union field without matching a specific value makes an irrefutable pattern.
Both require unsafe code.
