Currently, `match` provides a pattern named `var`, which makes `(var

However, this frequently conflicts with structures that people define,
and is rarely used other than accidentally. I'd therefore like to
remove it entirely.

Since I've never used `var' and it sounds like a great idea to get rid
of it, I'll see David's repeated exponential and raise it by \aleph_0.
Note that downvotes must now at least sum to \aleph_1 to retain the
`var' pattern. One downvote for every real number is sufficient.
