v3_core: Don't depend on sys_core_fold for cleaning up
a3ec2644f5 attempted to teach v3_core not to generate code with
unbound variables. The approach taken in that commit is to
discard all expressions following a badmatch. That does not
work if the badmatch is nested:
{[V] = [] = foo,V},
V
That would be rewritten to:
{error({badmatch,foo})},
V
where V is unbound.
If we were to follow the same approach, the tuple construction
code would have to look out for a badmatch. As would list construction,
begin...end, and so on.
Therefore, as it is impractical to discard all expressions that
follow a badmatch, the only other solution is to ensure that the
variables that the pattern binds will somehow be bound. That can
be arranged by rewriting the pattern to a pattern that binds the
same variables. Thus:
error({badmatch,foo}),
E = foo,
case E of
{[V],[]} ->
V;
Other ->
error({badmatch,Other}
end
