We found it strange to put BEAM assembly language files
in the STDLIB application (in theory, STDLIB should
be possible to use in other Erlang implementations).

I think that a better place would be to make it a pre-loaded
module in the erts application. Also, I suggest that instead
of calling a hard-coded function, the function can call a
fun.

Also, I find the name match_clause() (in the erl_eval_receive
module) confusing.
