Confusing error message when attempting to pass a newtype as a match pattern
from typing import NewType T = NewType('T', str) match 'test': case T(): ...
fails with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/foo.py", line 6, in <module>
case T(): ...
^^^
TypeError: called match pattern must be a type
The error message is confusing because T is a type. The error message should probably say class instead of type, since as per the specification it's a class pattern.
