Converts the pattern part of the `match` expression into a `&'static str`.  
It is mainly intended to be used when you want to convert a variable name into a string as is.

## Usage

```
$ cargo add match_to_str
```

```rust
use match_to_str::match_to_str;

const CAT: u8 = 1;
const DOG: u8 = 2;

fn main() {
    let animal = match_to_str!(1 => {
        CAT,
        DOG,
        _,
    });
    assert_eq!(animal, "CAT");
}
```

expand to:

```rust
let animal = match 1 {
    CAT => "CAT",
    DOG => "DOG",
    _ => "_",
};
```
