/// This file includes the logic for exhaustiveness and usefulness checking for
/// pattern-matching. Specifically, given a list of patterns for a type, we can
/// tell whether:
/// (a) the patterns cover every possible constructor for the type [exhaustiveness]
/// (b) each pattern is necessary [usefulness]
///
/// The algorithm implemented here is a modified version of the one described in:
/// http://moscova.inria.fr/~maranget/papers/warn/index.html
/// However, to save future implementors from reading the original paper, we
/// summarise the algorithm here to hopefully save time and be a little clearer
/// (without being so rigorous).
///
/// The core of the algorithm revolves about a "usefulness" check. In particular, we
/// are trying to compute a predicate `U(P, p_{m + 1})` where `P` is a list of patterns
/// of length `m` for a compound (product) type with `n` components (we refer to this as
/// a matrix). `U(P, p_{m + 1})` represents whether, given an existing list of patterns
/// `p_1 ..= p_m`, adding a new pattern will be "useful" (that is, cover previously-
/// uncovered values of the type).
///
/// If we have this predicate, then we can easily compute both exhaustiveness of an
/// entire set of patterns and the individual usefulness of each one.
/// (a) the set of patterns is exhaustive iff `U(P, _)` is false (i.e., adding a wildcard
/// match doesn't increase the number of values we're matching)
/// (b) a pattern `p_i` is not useful if `U(P[0..=(i-1), p_i)` is false (i.e., adding a
/// pattern to those that have come before it doesn't increase the number of values
/// we're matching).
///
/// For example, say we have the following:
/// ```
///     // x: (Option<bool>, Result<()>)
///     match x {
///         (Some(true), _) => {}
///         (None, Err(())) => {}
///         (None, Err(_)) => {}
///     }
/// ```
/// Here, the matrix `P` is 3 x 2 (rows x columns).
/// [
///     [Some(true), _],
///     [None, Err(())],
///     [None, Err(_)],
/// ]
/// We can tell it's not exhaustive, because `U(P, _)` is true (we're not covering
/// `[Some(false), _]`, for instance). In addition, row 3 is not useful, because
/// all the values it covers are already covered by row 2.
///
/// To compute `U`, we must have two other concepts.
///     1. `S(c, P)` is a "specialized matrix", where `c` is a constructor (like `Some` or
///        `None`). You can think of it as filtering `P` to just the rows whose *first* pattern
///        can cover `c` (and expanding OR-patterns into distinct patterns), and then expanding
///        the constructor into all of its components.
///        The specialization of a row vector is computed by `specialize`.
///
///        It is computed as follows. For each row `p_i` of P, we have four cases:
///             1.1. `p_(i,1) = c(r_1, .., r_a)`. Then `S(c, P)` has a corresponding row:
///                     r_1, .., r_a, p_(i,2), .., p_(i,n)
///             1.2. `p_(i,1) = c'(r_1, .., r_a')` where `c ≠ c'`. Then `S(c, P)` has no
///                  corresponding row.
///             1.3. `p_(i,1) = _`. Then `S(c, P)` has a corresponding row:
///                     _, .., _, p_(i,2), .., p_(i,n)
///             1.4. `p_(i,1) = r_1 | r_2`. Then `S(c, P)` has corresponding rows inlined from:
///                     S(c, (r_1, p_(i,2), .., p_(i,n)))
///                     S(c, (r_2, p_(i,2), .., p_(i,n)))
///
///     2. `D(P)` is a "default matrix". This is used when we know there are missing
///        constructor cases, but there might be existing wildcard patterns, so to check the
///        usefulness of the matrix, we have to check all its *other* components.
///        The default matrix is computed inline in `is_useful`.
///
///         It is computed as follows. For each row `p_i` of P, we have three cases:
///             1.1. `p_(i,1) = c(r_1, .., r_a)`. Then `D(P)` has no corresponding row.
///             1.2. `p_(i,1) = _`. Then `D(P)` has a corresponding row:
///                     p_(i,2), .., p_(i,n)
///             1.3. `p_(i,1) = r_1 | r_2`. Then `D(P)` has corresponding rows inlined from:
///                     D((r_1, p_(i,2), .., p_(i,n)))
///                     D((r_2, p_(i,2), .., p_(i,n)))
///
///     Note that the OR-patterns are not always used directly in Rust, but are used to derive
///     the exhaustive integer matching rules, so they're written here for posterity.
///
/// The algorithm for computing `U`
/// -------------------------------
/// The algorithm is inductive (on the number of columns: i.e., components of tuple patterns).
/// That means we're going to check the components from left-to-right, so the algorithm
/// operates principally on the first component of the matrix and new pattern `p_{m + 1}`.
/// This algorithm is realised in the `is_useful` function.
///
/// Base case. (`n = 0`, i.e., an empty tuple pattern)
///     - If `P` already contains an empty pattern (i.e., if the number of patterns `m > 0`),
///       then `U(P, p_{m + 1})` is false.
///     - Otherwise, `P` must be empty, so `U(P, p_{m + 1})` is true.
///
/// Inductive step. (`n > 0`, i.e., whether there's at least one column
///                  [which may then be expanded into further columns later])
///     We're going to match on the new pattern, `p_{m + 1}`.
///         - If `p_{m + 1} == c(r_1, .., r_a)`, then we have a constructor pattern.
///           Thus, the usefulness of `p_{m + 1}` can be reduced to whether it is useful when
///           we ignore all the patterns in `P` that involve other constructors. This is where
///           `S(c, P)` comes in:
///           `U(P, p_{m + 1}) := U(S(c, P), S(c, p_{m + 1}))`
///           This special case is handled in `is_useful_specialized`.
///         - If `p_{m + 1} == _`, then we have two more cases:
///             + All the constructors of the first component of the type exist within
///               all the rows (after having expanded OR-patterns). In this case:
///               `U(P, p_{m + 1}) := ∨(k ϵ constructors) U(S(k, P), S(k, p_{m + 1}))`
///               I.e., the pattern `p_{m + 1}` is only useful when all the constructors are
///               present *if* its later components are useful for the respective constructors
///               covered by `p_{m + 1}` (usually a single constructor, but all in the case of `_`).
///             + Some constructors are not present in the existing rows (after having expanded
///               OR-patterns). However, there might be wildcard patterns (`_`) present. Thus, we
///               are only really concerned with the other patterns leading with wildcards. This is
///               where `D` comes in:
///               `U(P, p_{m + 1}) := U(D(P), p_({m + 1},2), ..,  p_({m + 1},n))`
///         - If `p_{m + 1} == r_1 | r_2`, then the usefulness depends on each separately:
///           `U(P, p_{m + 1}) := U(P, (r_1, p_({m + 1},2), .., p_({m + 1},n)))
///                            || U(P, (r_2, p_({m + 1},2), .., p_({m + 1},n)))`
///
/// Modifications to the algorithm
/// ------------------------------
/// The algorithm in the paper doesn't cover some of the special cases that arise in Rust, for
/// example uninhabited types and variable-length slice patterns. These are drawn attention to
/// throughout the code below. I'll make a quick note here about how exhaustive integer matching
/// is accounted for, though.
///
/// Exhaustive integer matching
/// ---------------------------
/// An integer type can be thought of as a (huge) sum type: 1 | 2 | 3 | ...
/// So to support exhaustive integer matching, we can make use of the logic in the paper for
/// OR-patterns. However, we obviously can't just treat ranges x..=y as individual sums, because
/// they are likely gigantic. So we instead treat ranges as constructors of the integers. This means
/// that we have a constructor *of* constructors (the integers themselves). We then need to work
/// through all the inductive step rules above, deriving how the ranges would be treated as
/// OR-patterns, and making sure that they're treated in the same way even when they're ranges.
/// There are really only four special cases here:
/// - When we match on a constructor that's actually a range, we have to treat it as if we would
///   an OR-pattern.
///     + It turns out that we can simply extend the case for single-value patterns in
///      `specialize` to either be *equal* to a value constructor, or *contained within* a range
///      constructor.
///     + When the pattern itself is a range, you just want to tell whether any of the values in
///       the pattern range coincide with values in the constructor range, which is precisely
///       intersection.
///   Since when encountering a range pattern for a value constructor, we also use inclusion, it
///   means that whenever the constructor is a value/range and the pattern is also a value/range,
///   we can simply use intersection to test usefulness.
/// - When we're testing for usefulness of a pattern and the pattern's first component is a
///   wildcard.
///     + If all the constructors appear in the matrix, we have a slight complication. By default,
///       the behaviour (i.e., a disjunction over specialised matrices for each constructor) is
///       invalid, because we want a disjunction over every *integer* in each range, not just a
///       disjunction over every range. This is a bit more tricky to deal with: essentially we need
///       to form equivalence classes of subranges of the constructor range for which the behaviour
///       of the matrix `P` and new pattern `p_{m + 1}` are the same. This is described in more
///       detail in `split_grouped_constructors`.
///     + If some constructors are missing from the matrix, it turns out we don't need to do
///       anything special (because we know none of the integers are actually wildcards: i.e., we
///       can't span wildcards using ranges).

    // The exhaustiveness-checking paper does not include any details on

    // by an infinite collection of fixed-length array patterns.
    //
    // Checking the infinite set directly would take an infinite amount
    // of time. However, it turns out that for each finite set of
    // patterns `P`, all sufficiently large array lengths are equivalent:
    //
    // Each slice `s` with a "sufficiently-large" length `l ≥ L` that applies
    // to exactly the subset `Pₜ` of `P` can be transformed to a slice
    // `sₘ` for each sufficiently-large length `m` that applies to exactly
    // the same subset of `P`.
    //
    // Because of that, each witness for reachability-checking from one
    // of the sufficiently-large lengths can be transformed to an
    // equally-valid witness from any other length, so we only have
    // to check slice lengths from the "minimal sufficiently-large length"
    // and below.
    //
    // Note that the fact that there is a *single* `sₘ` for each `m`
    // not depending on the specific pattern in `P` is important: if
    // you look at the pair of patterns
    //     `[true, ..]`
    //     `[.., false]`
    // Then any slice of length ≥1 that matches one of these two
    // patterns can be trivially turned to a slice of any
    // other length ≥1 that matches them and vice-versa - for
    // but the slice from length 2 `[false, true]` that matches neither
    // of these patterns can't be turned to a slice from length 1 that
    // matches neither of these patterns, so we have to consider
    // slices from length 2 there.
    //
    // Now, to see that that length exists and find it, observe that slice
    // patterns are either "fixed-length" patterns (`[_, _, _]`) or
    // "variable-length" patterns (`[_, .., _]`).
    //
    // For fixed-length patterns, all slices with lengths *longer* than
    // the pattern's length have the same outcome (of not matching), so
    // as long as `L` is greater than the pattern's length we can pick
    // any `sₘ` from that length and get the same result.
    //
    // For variable-length patterns, the situation is more complicated,
    // because as seen above the precise value of `sₘ` matters.
    //
    // However, for each variable-length pattern `p` with a prefix of length
    // `plₚ` and suffix of length `slₚ`, only the first `plₚ` and the last
    // `slₚ` elements are examined.
    //
    // Therefore, as long as `L` is positive (to avoid concerns about empty
    // types), all elements after the maximum prefix length and before
    // the maximum suffix length are not examined by any variable-length
    // pattern, and therefore can be added/removed without affecting
    // them - creating equivalent patterns from any sufficiently-large
    // length.
    //
    // Of course, if fixed-length patterns exist, we must be sure
    // that our length is large enough to miss them all, so
    // we can pick `L = max(FIXED_LEN+1 ∪ {max(PREFIX_LEN) + max(SUFFIX_LEN)})`
    //
    // for example, with the above pair of patterns, all elements
    // but the first and last can be added/removed, so any
    // witness of length ≥2 (say, `[false, false, true]`) can be
    // turned to a witness from any other length ≥2.
