Thanks for explaining the open issues so well, Guido. My 2¢ on the `else` matter:

I strongly favor the option of aligning the `else` clause with `match`, because `else` is a special clause therefore it should look special. "Designers need to ensure that controls and displays for different purposes are significantly different from one another." —Donald Norman, The Design of Everyday Things As I first read a `match` statement, and I see an `else` clause, I know for sure that *something* will happen. If no `else` clause is present, I know it's possible nothing will happen. It's the same thing with `else` in `if`, `while`, `for`, `try` statements, where the `else` is aligned with the opening keyword.
