It's certainly not something I would want added to all of my enums by default, and it feels IMO like it's just an awkward hack around the fact that pattern matching is a bit verbose in some scenarios because Swift doesn't provide a case-expression to let you test/bind as part of a larger expression.<div class=""><br class=""></div></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="">On Wed, Jan 18, 2017 at 10:08 AM Andy Chou via swift-evolution <<a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org" class="">swift-evolution@swift.org</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="gmail_msg">That’s an interesting proposal.
