I think the way you measure "complexity" is different from the way I
measure it.  I suspect that your measure does not count the complexity
of learning `pcase' -- that it assumes the reader knows that already.

That complexitu is what I am trying to eliminate.

I also think that you measure "complexity" as the opposite of terseness,
so that a couple of uses of `match-set' is in your view "added complexity".
However, terseness is what makes `pcase' more complex.
