There has been a lot of conversation around something like this in the
past[1][2]. I'm sure there are other examples as well.

If I recall properly, the short answer to this proposal is no, unless
someone can come up with a new spin to it. The languages that have this
feature generally have a single data type to worry about (strings). In
Elixir, we have strings and atoms to consider when attempting a match
like this.
