- Lexer: \`match\` keyword and \`=>\` (FatArrow) token
- Parser: \`parse_match\` after the existing loop constructs. Each
arm is \`pattern => { body }\`, with \`_\` as the catch-all. The
match scrutinee is parsed with struct-literal restriction enabled
so the following \`{\` is unambiguously the match body, not a
struct literal.
- The parser desugars match directly into an if/else-if chain so
the analyzer, IR lowering, and codegen don't need new AST variants
— each arm becomes \`scrutinee == pattern\` as the condition, and
the default arm (if any) becomes the final \`else\` block.
Tests cover parse + full pipeline integration for state-style
dispatch using an enum.
