If you mean to swap z and x in the reconstruction,
it's a good example of an ad hoc reconstruction which
is more than just a "wither".

This makes me think there should be a warning
issued by the compiler if you choose a name for
a component of a match result which conflicts
with the name advertised by the constructor.
So "p match Point(z, y, x)" would get a warning
on the first and third arguments, if the constructor
were "Point(x, y, z)" and Point actually had those
names as part of its API.
