Hi,

I started experimenting with core.match.

One thing that isn't obvious to me, how it should work when matching more
than one pattern.

In the following example, the expression returns 3 or 4 depending on which
pattern comes first:

(require '[clojure.core.match :as cm])

(cm/match [:a true false]
            [_ _ true] 1
            [:a _ true] 2
            [:a true false] 4
            [:a true _] 3
            )

where as I'd expect it would go for the "most-specific" match at least
where the choice is between a wildcard and non-wildcard option.

Is it correct to assume, that the algorithm constructs an decision tree
that will hit a minimum amount of patterns, however, if there are more than
one matching clauses, its result is an arbitrary choice of the possible
decisions?

Thanks!

Laszlo
