> Lowering of pattern matching in switch statements and expressions produces an inefficient tree of conditional branches. This PR does not improve the lowering itself; however, it reduces overhead in the generated bytecode.
>
> `NormalizeBlocksTransformer` is improved to handle redundant conditional branches. It skips intermediate conditional branches with constant boolean arguments and re-targets them directly to the true or false branch, based on the argument's constant value.
>
> The `BytecodeGenerator` prepends `NormalizeBlocksTransformer` to leverage the optimized models for bytecode generation.
