Hi This is for GNU Emacs 29.2 (build 2, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2024-02-01 running on Windows 11. I just noticed the following with pcase-let and pcase. I believe this is a problem with pcase-let. The following is a IELM transcript. The second plet-case should, IMHO, fail. ELISP> (pcase-let ((`(let ,bs (*when *,c . ,r)) '(let ((foo 42)) (*when *1 2 3)))) (list 'bs bs 'c c 'r r)) (bs ((foo 42)) c 1 r (2 3)) ELISP> (pcase-let ((`(let ,bs (*when *,c . ,r)) '(let ((foo 42)) (*zot *1 2 3)))) (list 'bs bs 'c c 'r r)) (bs ((foo 42)) c 1 r (2 3)) ELISP> (pcase '(let ((foo 42)) (*when *1 2 3)) (`(let ,bs (*zot *,c . ,r)) (list 'bs bs 'c c 'r r))) nil pcase correctly fails to match *when *and *zot*, while pcase-let seems to happily go ahead.
