Description

I'm running into what may be a conceptual issue rather than an actual issue. Are multi-character match variables supported?

E.g.

let string = "test"; match(string)( (s) => { console.log(s); } )

Executes as expected logging

test

but

let string = "test"; match(string)( (str) => { console.log(str); } )

generates no output.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the pattern matching mechanism to see how variable names are parsed and matched. Focus on the logic that distinguishes between single character and multi character variable names.
