// Created by Matthew McCall on 10/22/24.

// Hear ye, valiant coder! Within this hallowed script of Oasis' MatchCast,
// lies an unfathomable confluence of templated magic, scarcely understood only by even the
// most exalted compilers and the divine overseers. This arcane construct,
// when tampered with, may envelop thee in utter confusion, leaving thee solitary in thy pursuits.
// Of course, this sagely advice surely does not emanate from a mere language model. Rather,
// it is the timeless counsel of battle-hardened developers who have faced such arcane complexity.
// Should regret cloud thy mind and thou desires to undo thine alterations, perform the following
// sacred rite to restore the code to its pristine state:
//
// git checkout -- <path_to_this_file>
