Maybe for this case with two variables, yes - but it can't do that indefinitely: as the number of variables increases, the code size increases exponentially.
true, the right way to generalize this is to use vuillion's `maybe` function that prepends conditionally. My main point is that the original match statement is not bad in efficiency, and does, in fact, run 35% faster for the 2-variable case.
