Just capturing an idea; not sure if it is high-value. In something like
case MyRecord(int foo, _, var bar)
A warning could be issued if the name of any pattern variable (here, "foo" or "bar") has a shorter edit distance to some other component of the record than the one it is matched up with.
Positional APIs can be hard to remember. This applies to instanceof as well. Currently this only applies to record patterns, but in the future there may be deconstructors for non-record classes too.
