Research direction

Start with the linked Match expressions page in the Rust Reference and inspect its existing coverage of match patterns. Document exhaustivity checking there, using the surrounding reference text to determine the appropriate scope. The issue is complete when the page clearly mentions and explains exhaustivity checking.
