> 8262889: Compiler implementation for Record Patterns
> 
> A first version of a patch that introduces record patterns into javac as a preview feature. For the specification, please see:
> http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gbierman/jep427+405/jep427+405-20220426/specs/patterns-switch-record-patterns-jls.html
> 
> There are two notable tricky parts:
> -in the parser, it was necessary to improve the `analyzePattern` method to handle nested/record patterns, while still keeping error recovery reasonable
> -in the `TransPatterns`, the desugaring of the record patterns is very straightforward - effectivelly the record patterns are desugared into guards/conditions. This will likely be improved in some future version/preview
> 
> `MatchException` has been extended to cover additional cases related to record patterns.

Jan Lahoda has updated the pull request incrementally with two additional commits since the last revision:

 - Fixing guards after record patterns.
 - Raw types are not allowed in record patterns.
