great addition to the language.

One piece of bikeshedding: I agree with the previous posters who said that
the ".x" syntax for referring to variables isn't great, and I'd prefer
marking variables that are being assigned to with a special symbol. So
instead of:

y = 3
case Point(x, .y): ...  # x is assigned to, y is looked up

we'd have

y = 3
case Point($x, y): ...  # x is assigned to, y is looked up

The trouble with the current syntax is that if you forget the ".", you
always get a hard-to-detect bug: your pattern unexpectedly matches and "y"
suddenly has a different value. Even if you find the bug, it's hard to find
out where exactly the mistake happened.

But with the proposed "$" syntax, if you forget the "$", you probably will
just immediately get a NameError that will tell you exactly where your bug
is. (Except of course if you happen to already have the name "x" in scope,
but that's hopefully not very common, and it's already what happens if you
typo a local variable name.)
