 In particular, the value of `C` must be known at pattern-building time (which is pre-monomorphization).
 This means that associated consts that involve generic parameters cannot be used as patterns.

 r[patterns.const.translation]
 After ensuring all conditions are met, the constant value is translated into a pattern, and now behaves exactly as-if that pattern had been written directly.
 In particular, it fully participates in exhaustiveness checking.
