A `match` expression branches on a *pattern*. The exact form of matching that
occurs depends on the pattern. Patterns consist of some combination of
literals, destructured enum constructors, structures, records and tuples, variable binding
specifications, wildcards (`*`), and placeholders (`_`). A `match` expression has a *head
specifications, wildcards (`..`), and placeholders (`_`). A `match` expression has a *head
expression*, which is the value to compare to the patterns. The type of the
patterns must equal the type of the head expression.

The first pattern matches lists constructed by applying `Cons` to any head value, and a
tail value of `~Nil`. The second pattern matches _any_ list constructed with `Cons`,
ignoring the values of its arguments. The difference between `_` and `*` is that the pattern

`C(_)` is only type-correct if `C` has exactly one argument, while the pattern `C(..)` is
type-correct for any enum variant `C`, regardless of how many arguments `C` has.
