This is a (preliminary) patch for javac implementation for the third preview of pattern matching for switch (type patterns in switches).
Draft JLS:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gbierman/PatternSwitchPlusRecordPatterns/PatternSwitchPlusRecordPatterns-20220407/specs/patterns-switch-jls.html
The changes are:
-there are no guarded patterns anymore, guards are not bound to the CaseElement (JLS 15.28)
-a new contextual keyword `when` is used to add a guard, instead of `&&`
-`null` selector value is handled on switch level (if a switch has `case null`, it is used, otherwise a NPE is thrown), rather than on pattern matching level.
-total patterns are allowed in `instanceof`
-`java.lang.MatchException` is added for the case where a switch is exhaustive (due to sealed types) at compile-time, but not at runtime.
Feedback is welcome!
Thanks!
