Question

Consider this code:

  import scala.xml.{Node,HasKeyValue}

  def domatch(x:Node): Node = {
    val hasBar = new HasKeyValue("bar")

    x match {
      case Node("foo", hasBar(z), _*) => z
      case _ => null
    }
  }

When compiling it, I receive the following warning:

error: class HasKeyValue in package xml is deprecated: 
       Use UnprefixedAttribute's extractor

How should the code look like?
