I see! I had skimmed through it before but now upon closer inspection it does seem to fulfill some of my wishes. However, it seems the ability to actually use pattern matching as a structural interface hinges on whether it will be possible to declare patterns as types, which as of now seems to be under consideration. I may need to throw my two cents into that RFCs thread. Thanks for the heads up! Alwin
