+**Pattern guards**:
+
+Only one branch can be executed per ``match``. Once a branch is chosen, the rest are not checked.
+If you want to use the same pattern for multiple branches or to prevent choosing a branch with too general pattern,
+you can specify a guard expression after the list of patterns with the ``when`` keyword::
+
+    match point:
+        [0, 0]:
+            print("Origin")
+        [_, 0]:
+            print("Point on X-axis")

+- If there is no matching pattern for the current branch, the guard expression
+  is **not** evaluated and the patterns of the next branch are checked.
+- If a matching pattern is found, the guard expression is evaluated.
+  - If it's true, then the body of the branch is executed and ``match`` ends.
+  - If it's false, then the patterns of the next branch are checked.
