Pattern Matching - why "when" instead of "if"?

[David Alayachew]

Hello,

Questions about Pattern-Matching belong on the project that introduced them
-- Project Amber. Here is their mailing list. But I have already CC'd them
on this email.

As for your question, I myself asked almost the exact same question and got
an answer straight from the horse's mouth. Here is a link.

Let me know if you would like any clarifications.

Thank you for reaching out!
