I haven't tried the implementation, but it's not addressed in the PEP that I see, and if that's legal, then _ is effectively just a style choice, rather than a functional one, and there's no reason it shouldn't also be a named match. +1 for including "else:" for consistency even if that's just a shim for "case _:"
