Each presents roughly the same interface to the user, so it'd be nice if
we could just reduce them down to one keyword.

from skaller:

Regmatch/reglex are possible but not entirely simple.

Typematch could probably be replaced by match right now, since types
already use the same syntax as expressions.

There's a case for a hybrid though:

{{{
typecase int with
| int => 1
| long => 2
...
}}}

i.e. matching a type but returning an executable expression. This is a
kind of type driven conditional compilation.
