Pattern matching with `instanceof` allows writing this:
```java
void handle(Object o) {
if (o instanceof Point(int x, int y)) {
handlePoint(x, y);
} else if (o instanceof String s) {
handleString(s);
}
}
```
which is more concise than an instanceof and a separate cast:
```java
void handle(Object o) {
if (o instanceof Point) {
Point point = (Point) o;
handlePoint(point.x(), point.y());
} else if (o instanceof String) {
String s = (String) o;
handleString(s);
}
}
```
