 Structs can be destructured in `match` patterns. The basic syntax is
 `Name {fieldname: pattern, ...}`:

@@ -747,6 +748,35 @@ In general, the field names of a struct do not have to appear in the same
 order they appear in the type. When you are not interested in all
 the fields of a struct, a struct pattern may end with `, _` (as in
 `Name {field1, _}`) to indicate that you're ignoring all other fields.
+Additionally, struct fields have a shorthand matching form that simply
+reuses the field name as the binding name.
