Is case var(var x, var y) a valid syntax ?

I would be very surprised if that were valid. The inner vars are fine, of
course. However, your outer one has not replaced a type, but a
deconstructor reference, or whatever we're calling the opposite of a
constructor. "Any object which can be deconstructed into two constituent
objects" will surely not be a useful query very often, and I wouldn't
expect the language to support it.
