AFAICT the implementation of `match*` is not designed to handle the task
of matching against several patterns to select which branch to use.

So in order to reimplement `pcase` on top of `match*`s machinery we'd
have to choose between a significant rework/redesign of `match*`, or
a macro-expansion result which performs more repeated tests and
operations at runtime.
