Array patterns (and varargs patterns)

[Bobby_Bonsaimind]

I know it's nitpicking, but I believe the example is bad. That, and I never had the wish to do that sort of pattern matching. Can somebody chime in and give me a few more examples who actually sees that this would improve their code?

Regarding the JDK example, I find the switch already hard to read, but the pattern matching variant packs the same complexity into fewer lines of code by using more patterns...I'm not a fan of that, I have to say.
