Oh really, you never saw that? Well, they say that any programmer
should eyeball the source code of the most popular open-source OS at
least once:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/kernel/sys.c#L2144
I stand corrected -- it seems I haven't looked at other people's
switch statements all that much.
I can see that being a reasonable choice if you're using 8-space
indents, but I don't see that done much in Python.
Also, directly translating this into Python leads to something that
looks like a mistake:
match x:
case 1:
...
case 2:
...
and as has been pointed out, the alternative of putting x on the
next line is unprecedented in Python.
