Understood. But unless I'm missing something, the pattern matching PEP(s) is/are in limbo at the moment, there's a lot going on in github but nothing has been posted here. So I'm not clear what there is to discuss here at the moment, if the proposal is only relevant if pattern matching includes it, but no published pattern matching PEP has suggested it... (Sorry if the above sounds a little disgruntled, it feels like there's a lot going in "in private" with the pattern matching PEP and I sort of feel like a bit more transparency would be good. Maybe I'm mistaken...)
