Why not use '=' to distinguish binding from equality testing:case Point(x, =y): # matches a Point() with 2nd parameter equal to y; if it does, binds to x. This would allow a future (or present!) extension to other relative operators:
case Point(x, >y):(although the syntax doesn't AFAICS naturally extend to specifying a range, i.e. an upper and lower bound, which might be a desirable thing to do.
Perhaps someone can think of a way of doing it). Whether case =42: case 42: would both be allowed would be one issue to be decided.
