Is it possible to use match scala operation with variables? [duplicate]

Question

Possible Duplicates:
Why does pattern matching in Scala not work with variables?
Pattern match for variable in scope (Scala)

For example I have code

def equals(value1:String, value2:String) = value1 match {
 case value2 => true
 case _ => false
}

I found workaround, but I do not really like syntax

def equals(value1:String, value2:String) = value1 match {
 case v if v == value2 => true
 case _ => false
}

bracket value2 with backticks:

case `value2` => true

thanks, looks like trick. I think this behavior can be removed in future versions....
