I like how you show one way of converting a match to an object, and then
show a better way. What I did not like very much is how the first way is
really verbose and made me question whether to read on, and in
retrospect the way using match isn't much less verbose. Wouldn't a
simple (apply on-action (rest a-match)) work?
