match tuple with null
I don't understand why the following case doesn't match. Null should be an instance of Any, but it doesn't match. Can someone explain what is going on? val x = (2, null) x match { case (i:Int, v:Any) => println("got tuple %s: %s".format(i, v)) case _ => println("catch all") } prints catch all Thanks.

This type pattern matches any non-null instance of the given class. It's interesting that so much relevance has
