- Change the literal values in `foo` to match with the other patterns.
- Add a new field to `Foo` and make changes to the pattern as needed.
- Try `match &foo` and check the type of captures. The pattern syntax remains
the same, but the captures become shared references. This is
[match ergonomics](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2005-match-ergonomics.html)
and is often useful with `match self` when implementing methods on an enum.
- The same effect occurs with `match &mut foo`: the captures become exclusive
references.
- The distinction between a capture and a constant expression can be hard to
spot. Try changing the `2` in the second arm to a variable, and see that it
subtly doesn't work. Change it to a `const` and see it working again.
