Those cases have similarities, but also differences.  The cl functions
cover a much bigger range of activities than seq.e or map.el.

pcase is just one construct -- but it is a very confusing one that I
can't grasp from its doc string.  The basic idea is a natural thing to
want, but the details are so unnatural that I can't figure them out.

I am sure we can find a cleaner way to express the idea of trying a
series of patterns against one or more objects until one matches.
