(defmacro FOO (FARGS) BODY) takes an expression of the form (FOO AARGS),
and replaces it with the result of evaluating BODY in a context where
FARGS is bound to AARGS.

(pcase-defmacro FOO (FARGS) BODY) takes a pattern of the form (FOO AARGS),
and replaces it with the result of evaluating BODY in a context where
FARGS is bound to AARGS.
