// The signature pattern of a function call is matched partially by the caller
// and partially by the callee. `ParamPattern` insts mark the boundary
// between the two: pattern insts that are descendants of a `ParamPattern`
// are matched by the callee, and pattern insts that have a `ParamPattern`
// as a descendant are matched by the caller.

// Emits the pattern-match IR for the declaration of a parameterized entity with
// the given implicit and explicit parameter patterns, and the given return
// patterns (any of which may be `None` if not applicable). This IR performs the
// callee side of pattern matching, starting at the `ParamPattern` insts, and
// matching them against the corresponding `Call` parameters (see
// entity_with_params_base.h for the definition of that term).
// Returns the ID of an inst block consisting of references to the `Call`
// parameters of the function.
