Hello Core Libs Dev team,
I would like to propose a patch [1] that applies pattern matching for 'instanceof' (JEP-394) and 'switch-case' (JEP-433) on java.base. I suppose this enchantment will improve readability and reduce the code redundancy in cases of casts after 'inctanceof' checking.
For better reviewing this improvement can be split into 4 tasks 1 for each package: java [2], javax [3], sun [4] and com.sun.crypto [5].
Please share your thoughts on whether such an improvement might be applied.
Thank you for your help!
