Description

Pattern matching is one of the core things to understand in Elixir, but I'm yet to find any _really_ good explanations of pattern matching.

Most give you very basic implementations like https://elixirschool.com/en/lessons/basics/pattern-matching/#match-operator, which are ok but leave beginner with very little to build on.

What other things can be done with pattern matching? How is it useful in a live app?
Can we add more advanced examples later in the tutorial?
