Testing my understanding -- the following snippet from the PEP
match group_shapes(): case [], [point := Point(x, y), *other]:
will succeed if group_shapes() returns two lists, the first one being empty and the second one starting with a Point() ?
Correct. And it binds four variables: point, x, y, and other.
Okay, so following that example some more: `other` is all the other items in `group_shape`'s second list `x` and `y` are the x,y values from the second list's first element (which is a Point) `point` is... the first element of the second list? Or a __match__ object? -- ~Ethan~
