Interface ExtractingTypePatternMatcher

All Superinterfaces:
TypePatternMatcher
public interface ExtractingTypePatternMatcher extends TypePatternMatcher
A pattern-matching implementation for generic types that also extracts a type from matching types.

For example, such a pattern could be described with the expression Collection<T> => T. It would only match against Collection and its subclasses, and would extract the resolved type for parameter T in the event of a match.
