Imagine you’re parsing some JSON. You could parse the JSON into Racket
data structures using string->jsexpr, then use match to extract the data
into bindings:

  (match (string->jsexpr some-json-data)
    [(hash-table ['name name]
                 ['age age])
     (list name age)])

This turns out to be enormously useful, especially when combined with
other match patterns.
