Couldn't we also say that a pattern with "holes" is a destructuring pattern, not matter if it is used in pcase-let, or just pcase?We could, but the reason why I'm trying to define a new term (which I called here "destructuring pattern") is to define what happens with pcase-let, pcase-dolist, pcase-let* where the pattern is assumed to match.I only meant to say that introducing a term that somebody fairly familiar with the subject might misinterpret without reading its definition in the manual, could be suboptimal.Agreed.But don't mind me, I don't have any alternative proposals anyway.Neither do I,Can someone enlighten me regarding those "holes"?
