"The match and case keywords are proposed to be soft keywords, so that they are recognized as keywords at the beginning of a match statement or case block respectively, but are allowed to be used in other places as variable or argument names."
That's interesting. Python 3.6 had "async" and "await" as soft keywords, before they became reserved keywords in 3.7 [1]. However, soft keywords have just been added to Python more generally [2], so aren't such a special case anymore.
