Description

Created by @alexanderjsummers on 2019-08-28 10:55

We should document this in the tutorial (though it is a little advanced): all expressions which don't depend on the "current" (lhs/rhs) heap are matched by value; those which do depend on the current heap are matched syntactically. We should add examples.

Start by locating the tutorial section covering magic wand instances and read its surrounding explanations. Document the distinction between value matching for expressions independent of the current lhs/rhs heap and syntactic matching for dependent expressions, adding examples that make both cases clear.
