I understand. I would just like to see something that won't give new Python
pattern-matching users (read: everybody) the very painful first impression that
this is a switch. Can we rework it like:
match input().split():
case []:
print("Got nothing!")
case [first]:
print(f"Got one word: {first}")
case [first, last]:
print(f"Got two words: {first} and {last}")
case _:
print("Got more than two words!")
Or something? (Pardon the example, I don't write many tutorials...)
I've seen too many knee-jerk reactions over the past weeks along the lines of
"the new switch feature can't handle named constants!". My hope is something
like the above might provide a more accurate, informative intro.
