This is:

  (match (quote ...)
    ((quote ...) 'yep))

so the pattern is trying to match a list and bind the result to
the "quote" identifier.  The problem is the pattern language is
ambiguous - does (quote X) get precedence or does (X ...) ?

Currently it's the latter because of the way matchable checks
for ellipsis in match-one and everything else in match-two.
