Description
Feature description
@priya-sundaram-dev, please evaluate if we should add https://github.com/15r10nk/matchify to our codebase.
Python's match statement is powerful and we should encourage contributors to use it where it makes sense.
On Python 14t, please run uv tool install matchify && matchify data_structures, which should modify six files.
Do these changes look correct and useful? Do you recommend we add this tool to pre-commit?

Research direction
Run uv tool install matchify && matchify data_structures on Python 14t as requested, then inspect the six modified files. Evaluate whether the transformations are correct and useful for this codebase and whether matchify belongs in pre-commit. Done means documenting the findings and making a clear recommendation.
