Also frees main's args and the message of a failing main (valgrind was not clean on two tests).

enum Shape { Circle(float), Rect(float, float), Point }; Shape.Circle(2.0) makes one, match names the values
(Circle(r), _ to ignore), exhaustive like plain enums, printing shows Rect(2, 3.5). Underneath it is a struct (tag +
every variant's values), so copying, freeing, methods and valgrind-cleanliness come with it. Also: stray note files removed.

fn max[T](T a, T b) -> T struct Stack[T] { []T items } fn Stack[T].push(T x)
The type is worked out from the arguments (max(3, 4), first([1, 2])) and written out
where it cannot be: max[float](1, 2.5), Stack[int](), Pair[str, int](...). Each use makes
its own copy, so a generic costs nothing at run time. Several parameters
(Pair[A, B]), nesting (Stack[Pair[int, str]]), methods, and printing (Stack[int](items: ...))
work. An error inside a generic says which version it was building.
boot.sh: 37 passed, 0 failed (stage 2 and 3 identical).
enum Color { Red, Green, Blue } enum Status { Ok = 200, NotFound = 404 }
Color.Red, Color(n) (checked), int(c), == and != only, printed by name, usable as
map keys and struct fields, with methods (fn Color.next()).
match value { Red, Green -> ... Blue -> ... else -> ... } as a statement, or as an
expression that gives a value. Works on enums, whole numbers, chars, text and bools;
a match on an enum has to handle every variant or end with else, and says which are
missing. A bare variant name (Red) is enough inside a match on an enum.
Only the self-hosted compiler has them; tests/new holds their tests, tests/run stays what
the C++ compiler also runs. boot.sh: 31 passed.
