As Joseph said, there are other similar cases. And in my view if you
request a selection (and you fail to match) then the else is a natural F
In fact one could think of also having
\<thing>_case:nnTF
where the T branch is selected if you have a match (in addition to
executing any match code from the "n" argument). I personally rather
liked that I idea, as it fits well with other places like \prop_get:NnN(TF)
