Indeed. But this "ML-style" is the only useful thing I can think
to add to this first line. I don't think removing it will help anyone.

Feel free to suggest a replacement, but remember it has to fit on
a single line.

In Emacs-25, the docstring has been indirectly modified, so the QPAT now
is only documented in a separate section about the backquote pattern.
You might like to take a look in that version, to see if it makes more
sense that way.
I think the current wording is better, thanks.
Sorry, wanted to say "the *new* wording (in Emacs 25) is better".
