  add : (int, int) => int
  add(x, y) = x + y
```

## [Unreleased]
### Added
- Allow separate entrypoint/function type signature and definition, and pattern
matching in left-hand sides:
```
function
length : list('a) => int
length([]) = 0
length(x :: xs) = 1 + length(xs)
```
- Allow pattern matching in list comprehension generators (filtering out match
failures):
```
function somes(xs : list(option('a))) : list('a) =
[ x | Some(x) <- xs ]
```
- Allow pattern matching in let-bindings (aborting on match failures):
```
function test(m : map(int, int)) =
let Some(x) = Map.lookup(m, 0)
x
```
### Changed
- FATE code generator improvements.
