I'd like also to see considerations about the issue of an alternative
spelling that would
not resemble a class instantiation, brought first by Antoine Pitrou:
```
case Point with (x, y):
print(f"Got a point with x={x}, y={y}")
```
And somewhere on the other thread, someone pointed
the possibility of all assignments in a case be well
delimited, even with angle parentheses - (yes, that
addresses the "foot gun" again, but it is a step beyond
dot or not dot in instant-readability:
```
case Point with (<x>, <y>):
print(f"Got a point with x={x}, y={y}")
```
(AFAIC, the "dot" thing falls in the category of speckles on Tim's monitor)
