Thank you for testing (and reviewing) this!

I have to say I am not a fan of this lint in this particular case, since
it moves the "ignore this" semantics to be match level rather than match
branch level. In this particular case it's fine since the _ branch also
silently ignores, but I have been bitten by this kind of match case
lifting making it easy for semantics to be accidentally changed before
IIRC.
