I would like to propose that we should mention that all arms of a
match
expression should return the same type. I believe it should be noted in the section that mentions thatmatch
is an expression, and its return value can be bound to variables. The fact that its arms must return the same type is not immediately obvious, but it is possible to argue that it is a very important fact.I don't know why, but most (all?) internal links have a
<!-- ignore -->
annotation, so I added one here too... Let me know if I should remove it.
