Pointer matching

[FishAI]

Hi,
is there any way to match a raw pointer?
I tried various variants of syntax, but none seem to work.

auto ptr = std::make_unique<Derived1>();
...
using namespace matchit;
// match ptr or ptr.get() ? currently only *ptr works?
match (ptr) (
 pattern | as<Derived1>(_) = []{ std::cout << "Derived 1"; },
 pattern | as<Derived2>(_) = []{ std::cout << "Derived 2"; },
 pattern | _ = []{});

Thanks

@FishAI, can you try something like this?

auto ptr = std::make_unique<Derived1>();
using namespace matchit;
// match ptr or ptr.get() ? currently only *ptr works?
match (ptr) (
 pattern | some(as<Derived1>(_)) = []{ std::cout << "Derived 1"; },
 pattern | some(as<Derived2>(_)) = []{ std::cout << "Derived 2"; },
 pattern | _ = []{});

Nice, it works. I think it would be good to show this usage in the readme.

Cool. Are you interested in adding an example to the readme?
