Improve assert_matches! documentation

Browse Source 
This new documentation tries to avoid to limit the impact of the
conceptual pitfall, that the if guard relaxes the constraint, when
really it tightens it. This is achieved by changing the text and
examples. The previous documentation also chose a rather weird and
non-representative example for the if guard, that made it needlessly
complicated to understand.
