Does Kernel.match?/2 get special treatment?

[Brian Cardarella]

I'm trying to produce something similar to `Kernel.match?/2` in that I can pass a pattern to it, but if I reproduce the same macro I get the "cannot be an expression" error.

I have a livebook here with output showing:

https://gist.github.com/bcardarella/4d5655e0e7c90036754c25b94b2af4df

I searched the source but cannot seem to find any special tokenization case for that match?/2 as to why it is treated differently.

Remember to require it before using it.

There is an issue to improve the error message in this cases.
