## 🚀 New Language Features

### Tuple Destructuring in For Loops
```ruchy
for x, y in [(1, 2), (3, 4)] {
    println(x)
    println(y)
}
```

### Pattern Guards in Match Expressions
```ruchy
let x = 10
let result = match x {
    n if n > 5 => "big",
    _ => "small"
}
```

### Object Methods and Indexing
```ruchy
let obj = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30}
println(obj["name"])                    // Object indexing
for key, value in obj.items() {         // Object iteration
    println(key + ": " + value.to_string())
}
```

### Integer String Conversion
```ruchy
let num = 42
println(num.to_string())   // "42"
```
