There could be another form that does matching: try ?x, 0 = (4,5)Huh, this made me wonder if "match/try" may fit people's brains better than "match/case". I know for me that I want to read case clauses the same way I would read them in C, which is thoroughly unhelpful. The following looks weird though, so I don't think I actually like it in practice: === match shape: try Point(x, y): ... try Rectangle(x0, y0, x1, y1, painted=True): ...
I'm actually surprised at how much I like that. It certainly gets me out of the C mindset and makes it easier for me to recognise that Point(x,y) isn't an instantiation.
