In python-mode, this is a regression from

   commit 35d0190b0b91c085c73bbe6c2b8e93ea8288b589

       Properly indent Python PEP634 match/case blocks <...>

The addition of "match" in python-rx has that effect.

How to fix this without reverting the feature, is not immediately 
obvious to me, so I'm Cc'ing the author of that commit.

python-ts-mode reuses indentation code from python-mode, so it's no 
coincidence that is shares the problem.
