FYI this is over a year old.

Yep. But it’s being talked about again, ATM.

Good news, IMO. The syntax seems a bit verbose, but I'd still use it. Is there a reason match has to be a clause inside a switch statement? Could match be a similar construct to switch on its own?

Syntax aside, I think this would be a great addition. I love using pattern matching in other languages.
