    No, I wouldn't!

Is one of us mixing up negations? Are you saying you do NOT support PEP 634 (i.e. syntax change)?

A reasonable enough opinion that several core developers hold. Just trying to understand.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I wouldn't want a syntax change specific to matching if it could be done with a library. I just don't think it can be done with a library without other language changes. But I think those other language changes could be used in ways outside of just matching.
