just easier to wrap my head around. Patterns are either
expressions, classes or sequence/mapping combinations of patterns.
There's no awkwardness about when is a name a value and when is it
something to be bound, there's no proliferation of special cases, and it
is pretty readable I think.
If you see something like this:
[x, y] = foo()
then you don't expect it to look up x or y in the current scope, nor
to construct a list.
That argument works for name patterns, but not for class patterns.
"Cls(x,y)" does not look like an assignment target at all.
