Isn't that the same? AFAIK there isn't any
native pattern matching i Lisp, but one can do
it with macros...

I don't like it personally because it makes
writing code neurotic keeping track of all
those cases, rather than just examine what the
value is and act accordingly...

Whenever I use `pcase' it isn't really pattern
matching in my eyes, i.e. in the Erlang/SML
sense, more like a way of doing case with
strings. I guess it could be used in other ways
as well. Even tho technically it is the
same thing.
