** TODO ML-style patterns
Wanted: nested destructuring (data cases, structs, arrays, slices), guards, or-patterns,
literals at any depth, and exhaustiveness checked over the nesting. Needs a design pass.
** NEXT match over numbers and strings
Decided 2026-09-25: a match arm's pattern can be an integer, a float, a char or a
string literal, compared as =(= t lit)=; a match over such a type needs a =_= arm.
