It came up during review and is posted as one of the core team’s request. There are two possibilities regarding this feature: I can put it in future considerations and defer it to a different proposal. Alternatively, I can write a 2-part proposal with the 2nd part being this feature. Each part would be reviewed separately.

Once we specify how overloaded patterns are matched (with casting) it becomes pretty straightforward that anonymous cases are matched with `(let s as String)`.  I think it would good to include anonymous cases but make it clear that you view it as an “optional” enhancement that the core team is free to omit in the accepted version.  I believe Dave A was the one who first mentioned it so it probably has a reasonable shot at being accepted,
