 ### Matching Named Variables
 
 Named variables are irrefutable patterns that match any value, and we’ve used
-them many times in the book. However, there is a complication when you use
-named variables in `match` expressions. Because `match` starts a new scope,
-variables declared as part of a pattern inside the `match` expression will
-shadow those with the same name outside the `match` construct, as is the case
-with all variables. In Listing 19-11, we declare a variable named `x` with the
-value `Some(5)` and a variable `y` with the value `10`. We then create a
-`match` expression on the value `x`. Look at the patterns in the match arms and
-`println!` at the end, and try to figure out what the code will print before
-running this code or reading further.

 ### Multiple Patterns
 
-In `match` expressions, you can match multiple patterns using the `|` syntax,
-which is the pattern _or_ operator. For example, in the following code we match
-the value of `x` against the match arms, the first of which has an _or_ option,

 A _match guard_ is an additional `if` condition, specified after the pattern in
