I wonder if this could work with the proposed pattern matching statement. The current proposal doesn't allow it, but maybe a future enhancement would make something like this possible: match the_input: case "{one} {two} {three}": print("Got three numbers", one, two, three) You'd need some sort of "matching object" rather than a string there (strings already have a meaning in the proposal) but maybe something could be made to work?
