Reviewing this older ticket this evening, it appears to me that (a) the original poster was requesting additional/alternate syntax/features for smart-matching; (b) several porters responded that smartmatch already has too many problems; (c) porters suggested alternative approaches; and (d) the discussion then went off in a different direction. I recommend closing this ticket and am taking it for the purpose of closing it within 7 days unless someone wishes to provide a patch and keep the discussion going. Thank you very much.
