Like John, I would prefer to keep using pcase.  I'm a fan of the tool.

I would love the manual to dedicate more space to it, and feel that I've
only grazed the surface. Perhaps a whole chapter, since pcase
(understandably) departs from so many of the typical Emacs programming
patterns. And that chapter can mention Shadchen and whatever else is
pertinent.
