JEP proposed to target JDK 21: 440: Record Patterns

[Mark Reinhold]

The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 21:

  440: Record Patterns
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/440

  Summary: Enhance the Java programming language with record patterns to
  deconstruct record values.  Record patterns and type patterns can be
  nested to enable a powerful, declarative, and composable form of data
  navigation and processing.

Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections.  If no such objections
are raised by 23:59 UTC on Thursday, 11 May, or if they’re raised and
then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [2]
I’ll target this JEP to JDK 21.
