Well, what I had in mind is more complex than 
`predSwitch`/`castSwitch`/`regexSwitch`, but not *that* complex. 
I want to support syntax like:

uint multiplyTuple(Tuple(int, int) operands){
    return operands.patternMatch!(
        (Constrainted!(uint, "==", 0), uint _) => 0,
        (Constrainted!(uint, "==", 1), uint b) => b,
        (a, uint b) => b + multiplyTuple(tuple(a - 1, b)),
    )();
}
