If you put a docstring in there, it will appear in "C-h f pcase RET", so
you can use it to document the particular format you support.

Also I see the following problems:
- You only accept the form (seq <binding>) rather than (seq <binding1>
  <binding2> ...), so typical cases will have to use (seq (a b)) instead
  (seq a b).
- The above pcase pattern doesn't check that it's indeed a `seq'.
  You should add a (pred seq-p).  It will automatically be optimized
  away in `pcase-let', but is indispensable for the `pcase' situation to
  do the right thing.

IIUC, this means that (pcase-let (((seq a (seq b c)) <obj>)) <body>)
will bind the `seq' variable to the first element of the nested sequence
(and `a' to the second and `b' to the third), whereas I think it should
bind `b' to the first element of the nested sequence (which is what
would happen if you simply removed this branch of this `pcase').
I think removing this case will also remove the need for seq--nested-elt.

This reverse plus seq--reverse-args business seems
hideously inefficient.  Why do you need that?

Great, I'll do that.

Yes.  My idea of it was that you bind a sequence like the following:

    (seq [a b [c d]])

Or did you have something else in mind?

Ok, I'll do that.

But then how can I have `seq-let' work the way it did until now? For
instance:

    (seq-let [a [b [c]]] my-vector
      ...)

because of the way the `app' pattern works.  Or maybe I'm missing
something?

I was thinking of (seq a b (seq c d)).

You could add support for (seq a b [c d]), if you want since that
currently wouldn't collide with any pcase pattern, tho I'm not sure it's
worth the added complexity for the user.

You expand [a [b [c]]] to (seq a (seq b (seq c))) before passing it to
pcase-let.

Why wouldn't

   `(app (seq--nested-elt ',(reverse (cons index nested-indexes))) ,name)

work as well?  Or, once you get rid of the nested case,

   `(app (seq-elt ,index) ,name)

I understand what you meant now. It indeed makes sense, and the pcase
pattern would be much more consistent. I'll push another commit.

Cheers,
Nico

Wouldn't that result in passing the sequence as the second argument of
`seq-elt'?  That was the reason why I added this reversed arguments.

Yes.  Sorry, I missed that `elt' takes args in the same order as `aref'
rather than `nth'.

> That was the reason why I added this reversed arguments.

Ah, in this case, I guess you could use pcase--flip (or equivalent).
Notice that it's a macro, so the arg-reversal will take place at
compile-time.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know about pcase--flip.
