Matched key-value pairs must already be present in the mapping, and not created on-the-fly by ``__missing__`` or ``__getitem__``. For example, ``collections.defaultdict`` instances will only match patterns with keys that were already present when the ``match`` block was entered.
Does that mean the pattern matching logic is in cahoots with collections.defaultdict? What if you want to match against your own defaultdict-like type? -- Greg
