I'm not a full -1 on the concept (especially as match(true) has the
convenience of returning a value), but it's very square peg in a round hole
to me.
At the end of the day though, that's a style choice and not one I have any
business imposing on anyone, and certainly within the context of this diff,
the actual change is trivial. It's sugar for match(true) that looks like
match. /shrug
I might suggest broadening the scope to include switch as well though.
If we're going to codify match(true) as a pattern, we should at least be
consistent about it.
