That's a strong statement to make without specific arguments.
I don't recall any discussion about whether it would be useful
either. Unlike for, say, the yield stuff which has to be debated
forever.
pcase is years old, and nobody has proposed an alternative yet.
There are much better, more lisp idiomatic, libs for doing pattern
matching which pcase should give way to imo.
Shadchen for example.
Your case would be stronger is Shadchen was at least in GNU ELPA.
