ocaml: phase 4 'let PATTERN = expr in body' tuple destructuring (+3 tests, 541 total)
Some checks failed
Test, Build, and Deploy / test-build-deploy (push) Failing after 44s

When 'let' is followed by '(', parse-let now reads a full pattern
(via the existing parse-pattern used by match), expects '=', then
'in', and desugars to:

  let PATTERN = EXPR in BODY  =>  match EXPR with PATTERN -> BODY

This reuses the entire pattern-matching machinery, so any pattern
the match parser accepts works here too — paren-tuples, nested
tuples, cons patterns, list patterns. No 'rec' allowed for pattern
bindings (real OCaml's restriction).

  let (a, b) = (1, 2) in a + b              = 3
  let (a, b, c) = (10, 20, 30) in a + b + c = 60
  let pair = (5, 7) in
  let (x, y) = pair in x * y                = 35

Also retroactively cleaned up Printf's iter-97 width-pos packing
hack ('width * 1000000 + spec_pos') — it's now
'let (width, spec_pos) = parse_width_loop after_flags in ...' like
real OCaml.

- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — `let PATTERN = expr in body` tuple
destructuring (+3 tests, 541 total). When `let` is followed by `(`,
parse-let now reads a full pattern, expects `=`, then `in`, and
desugars to `(:match expr ((:case PATTERN body)))`. Reuses the
pattern parser used by match. `let (a, b, c) = (10, 20, 30) in
a+b+c` → 60. Also retroactively cleans up the Printf width-pos
packing hack from iteration 97 — it's now `let (width, spec_pos)
= parse_width_loop after_flags in ...` like real OCaml.
