I like it, but couldn't you just use as assignment expression and do:
match p := get_point():
The advantage of case (x, y): is that it will match any tuple and allow you to access the members as x and y, whereas doesn't your syntax only allow you to access structures whose members are already called x and y? Feel like I'm missing something here...
