+/*
+ 1. KEY DIFFERENCE:
+ 'switch' uses loose comparison (==), meaning it will type-juggle (e.g., string "200" equals integer 200).
+ 'match' uses strict comparison (===), meaning both value AND type must be identical.
+
+ 2. EXAMPLE OF DIFFERENCE:
+ If $status_code = "200" (a string):
+ - switch ($status_code) case 200: would match and print "OK".
+ - match ($status_code) 200 => : would NOT match and would go to 'default' (or throw an error).
+
+ 3. WHEN TO PREFER SWITCH:
+ You might prefer 'switch' if you need to execute complex blocks of logic (multiple lines of code)
+ per case, or if you intentionally want to use "fall-through" logic (omitting breaks) to handle
+ multiple cases with the same code. 'match' is an expression that returns a value and is
+ best for simple mappings.
