($ pattern)($ context-pattern pattern)Pattern matching and substitution operator.
When used as a pattern matching operator will attempt match
pattern against some value that is a subtree of the target of
pattern matching. Optionally, context-pattern (should be a
variable pattern) can be passed and will be applied against a
function. This function accepts one argument and when invoked with
some value x will return the original, root target updated with
the x installed at the place where pattern matched successfully.

?x)
;; => 2
(match [:A 2]
($ ?context (pred number? ?x))

;; => [:A 3]
Pattern matching and substitution operator.
When used as a pattern matching operator will attempt match
`pattern` against some value that is a subtree of the target of
pattern matching. Optionally, `context-pattern` (should be a
variable pattern) can be passed and will be applied against a
function. This function accepts one argument and when invoked with
some value `x` will return the original, root target updated with
the `x` installed at the place where `pattern` matched successfully.

Syntax
(match x
pattern_1 expr_1
,,,
pattern_n expr_n)
Attempts to pattern match x against one of patterns pattern_1
through pattern_n. If some pattern pattern_i matches
successfully, expr_i will be executed. If none of the patterns
match successfully an error will be thrown indicating the pattern
match failed.
This operator restricts patterns which may have several possible solutions. For example, the pattern
#{?x ?y}
matches any set with at least two elements. However, with
consideration to the property that Clojure sets are unordered, there
are many possible ways we could bind values for ?x and
?y. Because there is no obvious way to know which solution to
pick, patterns which have this property are illegal in the context
of this operator.
For operators which relax this restriction, see find and search.
