This wasn't quite correct.  It seems that, if you have a pair in your
pattern followed by an ellipsis, it's enough to have any pair in your
input; the structure of the pair is not checked.

So in the previous example, (foo (1)) also gives an internal error, as
it matches the pattern (foo (a b) ...).
