+//! [`super::usefulness`] explains most of what is happening in this file. As explained there,
+//! values and patterns are made from constructors applied to fields. This file defines a
+//! `Constructor` enum, a `Fields` struct, and various operations to manipulate them and convert
+//! them from/to patterns.
+//!
+//! There's one idea that is not detailed in [`super::usefulness`] because the details are not
+//! needed there: _constructor splitting_.
+//!
+//! # Constructor splitting
+//!
+//! The idea is as follows: given a constructor `c` and a matrix, we want to specialize in turn
+//! with all the value constructors that are covered by `c`, and compute usefulness for each.
+//! Instead of listing all those constructors (which is intractable), we group those value
+//! constructors together as much as possible. Example:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! match (0, false) {
+//!     (0 ..=100, true) => {} // `p_1`
+//!     (50..=150, false) => {} // `p_2`
+//!     (0 ..=200, _) => {} // `q`
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The naive approach would try all numbers in the range `0..=200`. But we can be a lot more
+//! clever: `0` and `1` for example will match the exact same rows, and return equivalent
+//! witnesses. In fact all of `0..50` would. We can thus restrict our exploration to 4
+//! constructors: `0..50`, `50..=100`, `101..=150` and `151..=200`. That is enough and infinitely
+//! more tractable.
+//!
+//! We capture this idea in a function `split(p_1 ... p_n, c)` which returns a list of constructors
+//! `c'` covered by `c`. Given such a `c'`, we require that all value ctors `c''` covered by `c'`
+//! return an equivalent set of witnesses after specializing and computing usefulness.
+//! In the example above, witnesses for specializing by `c''` covered by `0..50` will only differ
+//! in their first element.
+//!
+//! We usually also ask that the `c'` together cover all of the original `c`. However we allow
+//! skipping some constructors as long as it doesn't change whether the resulting list of witnesses
+//! is empty of not. We use this in the wildcard `_` case.
+//!
+//! Splitting is implemented in the [`Constructor::split`] function. We don't do splitting for
+//! or-patterns; instead we just try the alternatives one-by-one. For details on splitting
+//! wildcards, see [`SplitWildcard`]; for integer ranges, see [`SplitIntRange`]; for slices, see
+//! [`SplitVarLenSlice`].
