I think you are right. That is a clearer analysis of what happened to me,
and perhaps to Eli as well.
I don't think it affects the overall conclusions about pcase and its
syntax. To some experienced Emacs Lisp hackers, they are confusing,
and that increases the effective complexity that they add to the Emacs
Lisp language.
