With a value of such a type, you can do `mystack.head += 1`. If `mut` were
omitted from the type, such an assignment would result in a type error.
## Struct patterns
Structs can be destructured in `match` patterns. The basic syntax is
`Name {fieldname: pattern, ...}`:

## Enum patterns
For enum types with multiple variants, destructuring is the only way to
get at their contents. All variant constructors can be used as
patterns, as in this definition of `area`:

Like other patterns, a lone underscore ignores individual fields.
Ignoring all fields of a variant can be written `Circle(*)`. As in
their introductory form, nullary enum patterns are written without
