The syntax and semantics are not easy to understand but here
is an example of `pcase' use that should be simple enough, at
least what it does and how to use it.

(defun insert-mail (&optional delim)
  (interactive "P")
  (pcase-let ((`(,delim-beg ,delim-end) (if delim '("<" ">") '("" ""))))
    (insert (format "%s%s%s" delim-beg user-mail-address delim-end)) ))

;; (insert-mail)   ;  incal@dataswamp.org
;; (insert-mail t) ; <incal@dataswamp.org>
