To me match also sound confusing as a keyword. You don't match things to cases
in English.
Maybe match x: against 1? https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/match+against
Python uses English words, but is not English.
Having said that, you can "match against several cases" to see which one is
what you are looking for:
Google search, not sure which dictionary, said:
noun: case; plural noun: cases
1.
an instance of a particular situation; an example of something occurring.
So in your example we have three cases of interest:
- point is Point(?, 1)
- point is Point(1, ?)
- point is None
So we are matching the point given against three different cases, and
match <thing>:
case <1>:
# blah
case <2>:
# blah
case <3>:
# blah
flows naturally from that.
