Tweaking the above example slightly, would there be a way to modify the following so that, if the second alternative matched, then 'x' would have the value, say, None assigned to it? match something: > ... > case Foo(arg=x) | Bar() (syntax assigning, say, None to x?) > ... > ... That would let Bar be handled by the Foo case even if Bar doesn't take an argument. I'm not sure if this would ever be needed, but it's something I was wondering. I didn't see this covered but could have missed it. --Chris >
