No typo -  this is _precisely_what the main proposal on PEPs 634, 635 and
636 is suggesting, and tha PEP 642 is trying to avoid.
Here it is working as is  on my Python with PEP 622 build:

```
Python 3.10.0a0 (heads/patma:1ba56a003b, Aug  6 2020, 02:00:58)
Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information
IPython 7.17.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.

In [1]: from dataclasses import dataclass


In [2]: @dataclass
  ...: class Point:
  ...:     x: float
  ...:     y: float
  ...:


In [3]: def get_coords(p):
  ...:     match p:
  ...:         case Point(x=a, y=b):
  ...:             return a, b
  ...:         case _:
  ...:             raise TypeError()
  ...:


In [4]: get_coords(Point(3, 4))

Out[4]: (3, 4)

```
