Subject: [Caml-list] syntax suggestion

Wouldnt it be nice if, as a special form of the = operator,
"variable = pattern when condition" were equivalent to
"match variable with pattern when condition -> true | _ -> false" ?

So that one could easily check optional values for instance:

if variable = Some x when x > 15 then blabla

What do you think?
