/**
* The `effect/match` module provides a type-safe pattern matching system for
* TypeScript. Inspired by functional programming, it simplifies conditional
* logic by replacing verbose if/else or switch statements with a structured and
* expressive API.
*
* This module supports matching against types, values, and discriminated unions
* while enforcing exhaustiveness checking to ensure all cases are handled.
*
* Although pattern matching is not yet a native JavaScript feature,
* `effect/match` offers a reliable implementation that is available today.
*
* **How Pattern Matching Works**
*
* Pattern matching follows a structured process:
*
* - **Creating a matcher**: Define a `Matcher` that operates on either a
* specific `Match.type` or `Match.value`.
*
* - **Defining patterns**: Use combinators such as `Match.when`, `Match.not`,
* and `Match.tag` to specify matching conditions.
*
* - **Completing the match**: Apply a finalizer such as `Match.exhaustive`,
* `Match.orElse`, or `Match.option` to determine how unmatched cases should
* be handled.

/**
* Matches values based on their `_tag` field, mapping each tag to a

*
* This function provides a way to handle discriminated unions by mapping `_tag`
* values to specific functions. Each handler receives the matched value and
* returns a transformed result. If all possible tags are handled, you can
* enforce exhaustiveness using `Match.exhaustive` to ensure no case is missed.
*
* @example
* ```ts
* import { Match, pipe } from "effect"
*
* const match = pipe(
* Match.type<{ _tag: "A"; a: string } | { _tag: "B"; b: number } | { _tag: "C"; c: boolean }>(),
* Match.tags({

* B: (b) => b.b,
