 ## 11.3 Pattern subsumption
 
 In a switch statement ([§13.8.3](statements.md#1383-the-switch-statement)), it is an error if a case’s pattern is *subsumed* by the preceding set of *unguarded* ([§13.8.3](statements.md#1383-the-switch-statement)) cases. In a switch expression ([§12.11](expressions.md#1211-switch-expression)), it is an error if a *switch_expression_arm*’s pattern is *subsumed* by the preceding set of *unguarded* *switch_expression_arm*s’ patterns.
-> *Note*: This means that any input value would have been matched by one of the previous cases or arms. *end note*
-The following rules define when a set of patterns subsumes a given pattern:
-
-A pattern `P` *would match* a constant `K` if the specification for that pattern’s runtime behavior is that `P` matches `K`.
-
-A set of patterns `Q` *subsumes* a pattern `P` if any of the following conditions hold:
 
-- `P` is a constant pattern and any of the patterns in the set `Q` would match `P`’s *converted value*
-- `P` is a var pattern and the set of patterns `Q` is *exhaustive* ([§11.4](patterns.md#114-pattern-exhaustiveness)) for the type of the pattern input value ([§11.1](patterns.md#111-general)), and either the pattern input value is not of a nullable type or some pattern in `Q` would match `null`.
-- `P` is a declaration pattern with type `T` and the set of patterns `Q` is *exhaustive* for the type `T` ([§11.4](patterns.md#114-pattern-exhaustiveness)).
-
-> *Example*: In the following switch expression, no arm is subsumed even though arms 1, 2, and 3 share the same pattern:
->
-> <!-- Example: {template:"code-in-main", name:"SwitchExprUnguardedSubsumption"} -->
-> ```csharp
-> object x = 10;
-> bool b = false;
-> int y = x switch
-> {
->     int i when !b => 0,
->     int i when b  => 1,
->     int i         => 2,
->     _             => 3
-> };
-> ```
->
-> Arms 1 and 2 have non-constant guards and so are not *unguarded*; only arm 3 is *unguarded* with pattern `int i`, which does not subsume the final `_` arm because it does not match a non-`int` value such as `null`. *end example*
+> *Note*: This means that any input value would have been matched by one of the previous cases or arms. *end note*
 
 ## 11.4 Pattern exhaustiveness
 
-Informally, a set of patterns is exhaustive for a type if, for every possible value of that type other than null, some pattern in the set is applicable.
-The following rules define when a set of patterns is *exhaustive* for a type:
-
-A set of patterns `Q` is *exhaustive* for a type `T` if any of the following conditions hold:
-
-1. `T` is an integral or enum type, or a nullable version of one of those, and for every possible value of `T`’s non-nullable underlying type, some pattern in `Q` would match that value; or
-2. Some pattern in `Q` is a *var pattern*; or
-3. Some pattern in `Q` is a *declaration pattern* for type `D`, and there is an identity conversion, an implicit reference conversion, or a boxing conversion from `T` to `D`.
-
-> *Example*:
->
-> <!-- Example: {template:"standalone-console-without-using", name:"PatternExhaustiveness1", replaceEllipsis:true, customEllipsisReplacements: [""], ignoredWarnings:["CS8321"]} -->
-> ```csharp
-> static void M(byte b)
-> {
->     switch (b) {
->         case 0: case 1: case 2: ... // handle every specific value of byte
->             break;
->         // error: the pattern 'byte other' is subsumed by the (exhaustive)
->         // previous cases
->         case byte other: 
->             break;
->     }
-> }
-> ```
->
-> *end example*
+A set of patterns is exhaustive if, for every possible input value, some pattern in the set is applicable. When an implementation detects that a set of patterns is not exhaustive, it shall issue a warning.
