IMHO, the assignment statement should remain as it is, not sometimes
assign and sometimes not.
There could be another form that does matching:
try ?x, 0 = (4,5)
Huh, this made me wonder if "match/try" may fit people's brains better
than "match/case". I know for me that I want to read case clauses the
same way I would read them in C, which is thoroughly unhelpful.
The following looks weird though, so I don't think I actually like it
in practice:
===
match shape:
try Point(x, y):
...
try Rectangle(x0, y0, x1, y1, painted=True):
...
===
I don't think it looks at all weird in this example, I think it reads
quite naturally, in my brain at least.
It is maybe not quite so good when comparing with actual values:
match value:
try 42:
...
try -1:
...
And it has the virtue of adding one less keyword.
