I can't so much as understand pcase forms, let alone debate the fine
technical details that certain participants in this thread insist
demonstrate the superiority of pcase over cond*.  That is a glaring
problem in its own right!

But if you read my words carefully, it will be apparent that all I have
asked is that people refrain from contriving reasons to exclude cond*
from Emacs.  Richard already made up his mind, yet with the perplexing
and disproportionate flurry of hostility which has been provoked, all
that now hangs in the balance.
