Since this is breaking everything anyway, how about syntax to let the
match run inside the enum namespace? e.g.
enum Color { Red, Green, Blue }
fn main() {
let x = Color::Red;
match Color::{x} {
Red => ...
Green => ...
Blue => ...
}
}
Seems to add complexity to the grammar for something that could be done
with `use self::Color::*;`
Or even infer that x is of type Color and let the compiler
transparently allow omitting the prefix within the match.
That would intertwine name resolution and typechecking, which would add
a lot of complexity to the compiler (if it's even coherent to do so; it
might not be).
