I see! I had skimmed through it before but now upon closer inspection it does seem to fulfill some
of my wishes.
However, it seems the ability to actually use pattern matching as a structural interface hinges on
whether it will be possible to declare patterns as types, which as of now seems to be under
consideration. I may need to throw my two cents into that RFCs thread.
Thanks for the heads up!
