Hello Gavin,

Exceptional work. Some minor proposals from my side...

14.11.1 includes a discussion about executable switch expressions and 
statements. It describes the transformation of default and case labels after 
resolution of patterns. Maybe this deserves a separate subsection.

> A set of case elements is exhaustive for a type T if it contains a pattern 
> that is unconditional at type T (14.30.3)

I think this is a crucial rule since it brings the two worlds of totality and 
exhaustivity together. It deserves a tiny example here. Do you think it would 
be beneficial?

> The set Q is exhaustive from component d at type V, where d is the component 
> following c, V is the type of corresponding component field in T, and Q is 
> the set of patterns containing every record pattern in P whose component 
> pattern corresponding to c covers U.

Instead of using the word "covers" we need to talk about the T <: U subtype 
relation. Covers is a remnant of the previous terminology set IIUC (which was 
good, but here is undefined).

nitpicking:

a instanceof expression -> an
a enum -> an enum
a unrefined -> an unrefined
and that statement can completely normally -> can complete normally
then it is further tranformed -> then it is further *transformed*
or the RelationalExpression of a instanceof -> an

Many thanks,
Aggelos

Subject: Draft Spec for Third Preview of Pattern Matching for Switch and Record 
Patterns (JEP 405) now available

Dear experts:

The first draft of a spec covering both the third preview of Pattern Matching 
for switch (JEP number coming, but currently available at 
https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/8282272) and JEP 405 (Record Patterns) is now 
available at:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gbierman/PatternSwitchPlusRecordPatterns/PatternSwitchPlusRecordPatterns-20220407/specs/patterns-switch-jls.html

Comments welcome!

Thanks,
Gavin
