Pattern matching?

[kai zhu]

-1.  will pattern matching code written by the vast number of beginner
javascript programmers be readable/maintainable? i personally think not.
yet another duplicative feature (that can probably be done more
maintainably by switch statements or the all-powerful
String.prototype.replace) to further muddle the confusing state of "best
coding-practices" for javascript.
