meet the best feature in python 3.10: match-case
summary
A subtle bug where lines like "1,1 == 1,1" and tuples such as "1, True, 1" are parsed as tuples rather than comparisons leads to incorrect boolean logic; debugging uses ast to inspect the interpreter tree, then replaces a fragile, multi-if flake8 visitor with a single structural pattern matching case that detects a constant compared to a tuple. The flake8 plugin is built and works, catching the pattern before it reaches CI; match-case also proves useful for CLIs and validating custom syntax.
