//! This is a minimal crate which implements match through different types.
//!
//! Usage:
//!
//! ```rust
//! #[macro_use]
//! extern crate match_cast;
//! use std::panic;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     let res = panic::catch_unwind(|| {
//!         panic!("Oh no!");
//!     });
//!
//!     let any = res.unwrap_err();
//!
//!     let result = match_cast!( any {
//!         val as Option<u8> => {
//!             format!("Option<u8> = {:?}", val)
//!         },
//!         val as String => {
//!             format!("String = {:?}", val)
//!         },
//!         val as &'static str => {
//!             format!("&'static str = {:?}", val)
//!         },
//!     });
//!
//!     assert_eq!(result.unwrap(), "&'static str = \"Oh no!\"");
//! }
//! ```
//!
