Though there was at least one bug ;)

If anyone is interested I'll tidy it up and submit it. It'd also be nice if
some compiler aware person would take a look over it and see if it is at
least a reasonable stab at a parse transform and I haven't broken too many
other things (especially before anyone at Ericsson uses it in some key piece
of AXD :-) ).

I do tend to agree that it shouldn't be needed but if something like this
provides the friendly introduction to match syntax that gets people over the
steep learning curve it probably jutifies the horror of epp!

Maybe in the future there will be a way to incorporate match specifications
into erlang code in a truly elegant and beautiful way.. I really like the
mnemosyne query syntax but it has never been supported well by the runtime -
maybe that is the way forward?
