idea: simplified destructuring call syntax

This kind of thing is quite common:
(match (some-fun x) with
(thing:t (:tuple y z)) -> (use-y-z ...)
)
i.e., there's only one pattern in the match, of a fixed type/structure.
It might be nice to have a syntax for doing this more compactly/cleanly.
Ideas:
(match (some-fun x) (thing:t (:tuple y z)) (use-y-z ...))
(some-fun x) -> (thing:t (:tuple y z)) -> (use-y-z ...)
(-> (some-fun x) -> (thing:t (:tuple y z)) (use-y-z ...))
I especially like the idea of chaining, but how useful in practice?
