+1!

Absolutely. The lack of this feature causes a lot of extra boilerplate or workarounds when dealing with enums.

Yes. I was surprised the language didn’t already include it. It seems natural.

I’ve used pattern matching in Haskell quite a bit and this Swift feature serves the same purpose and is really almost a necessary removal of a pattern matching limitation.

I spent enough effort on it to implement most of it in the compiler. :-)
