[New-bugs-announce] [issue43994] change representation of match as / capture as `Name(..., ctx=Store())`

[Anthony Sottile]

New submission from Anthony Sottile <asottile at umich.edu>:

I'm looking at adding support to `match` for pyflakes, and the first impression I have is that `MatchAs` is unnecessarily different from `Name` with `ctx=Store()`

if it were represented as the latter pyflakes would not require special handling of `match`, it would work the same as the current code

I suspect other static analysis tools would benefit from a change as well
