In fact, I'm worried about how to explain some behaviors.

Look here:
```python
# `Maybe` here is the same class described in the first message
Nothing = Maybe()
Maybe.empty = Nothing


if __name__ == '__main__':
    my_maybe = Maybe()
    match my_maybe:
        case Nothing:
            print('FIRST CASE')
        case _:
            print('DEFAULT CASE')
```

I can't use `Nothing` to match the values even though it's a variable but using `Maybe.empty` it works.
