Without arguing for or against allowing a capture variable, IMO rather than syntax like
    match <expr> into <var>:
it would be far better (and not require a new keyword) to write this as
    with <var> as match <expr>:

Everyone,

If you've commented and you're worried you haven't been heard, please add your issue *concisely* to this new thread. Note that the following issues are already open and will be responded to separately; please don't bother commenting on these until we've done so:

- Alternative spellings for '|'
- Whether to add an 'else' clause (and how to indent it)
- A different token for wildcards instead of '_'
- What to do about the footgun of 'case foo' vs. 'case .foo'

(Note that the last two could be combined, e.g. '?foo' or 'foo?' to mark a variable binding and '?' for a wildcard.)
