Description
One very fundamental tool for functional programming I am missing.
Pattern matching is a technique that is very well known from the Erlang, OCaml, Haskell, etc communities and I love to see it in Yuescript.
Fennel has some, but I dont like to use a lisp. 🤭
There are some implementations in native Lua, but I would like to use them in Yuescript natively.

Research direction
The issue names no YueScript files, tests, or entry points. Start by clarifying the desired pattern syntax and semantics, then review the linked Fennel reference and native Lua implementations. Done would require an agreed design and compiler behavior, neither of which is specified here.
