The docstring of `pcase' is meant to be "complete", so you can start
with that and complain about the missing bits.  Don't bother complaining
if you're not famailiar with ML-style pattern matching, tho (the
docstring is written under the assumption that this much is known).

There's a fairly good/extensive example in macroexp.el.
