Quite a few functions on Map take a function on a key-value tuple as the argument. E.g. def foreach(f: ((A, B)) ⇒ Unit): Unit. So I looked for a short way to write an argument to foreach:

> val map = Map(1 -> 2, 3 -> 4)

map: scala.collection.immutable.Map[Int,Int] = Map(1 -> 2, 3 -> 4)

> map.foreach((k, v) => println(k))

error: wrong number of parameters; expected = 1
       map.foreach((k, v) => println(k))
                          ^

> map.foreach({(k, v) => println(k)})

error: wrong number of parameters; expected = 1
       map.foreach({(k, v) => println(k)})
                           ^

> map.foreach(case (k, v) => println(k))

error: illegal start of simple expression
       map.foreach(case (k, v) => println(k))
                   ^

I can do 

> map.foreach(_ match {case (k, v) => println(k)})

Any better alternatives?
