Simple, Extensible Pattern Matching in C++14
summary
Implements a header-only pattern matching library for C++14 that compiles on GCC 5, Clang 3.6 and Visual C++ 2015 and uses integer_sequence, generic lambdas, and return type deduction to keep code minimal. It matches scalars, tuples, pointers, unique/shared/raw pointers, boost::optional/variant/any and user types via a simple tuple adapter, supports recursive variants and exhaustive-match checks, and focuses on clarity over micro-optimizations; examples include a fizzbuzz and an expression evaluator that compile and run. no macros, easy customization
