After reading the example, I see the point you're making.
I suppose the same issue could apply to cond*.
Do you think it applies equally to both?
The only pertinent difference is that cond*
would use match* or bind* around constructs that can make bindings.

Supposing that cond* could benefit from this idea, how can we make
this idea fit the framework of Emacs Lisp?  `?' has a different
meaning.  Of course, it does not _have_ to take the form of `?', but
what could it be?
