Just get them working at all. The pcase doc says:

-- (map &rest ARGS)

ARGS can be a list of the form (KEY PAT), in which case KEY in an
unquoted form.

ARGS can also be a list of symbols, which stands for (’SYMBOL
SYMBOL).

So, I tried something like:

(pcase '(:a 1)
  ((map `(:a ,a)) a))

which I thought might eval to 1.
