I think claiming that you have "the right meaning" is weird, because
I think there's no right or wrong, there are just a variety of options
whose adequacy depends on the circumstances, so some are more often
useful and others less so.

I can't think of any part of Pcase's pattern syntax which I could
describe as providing "the right meaning": they're all adjusted as best
as I could to the needs I saw, but it's all just the result of a bunch
of tradeoffs.

That's what I consider "wild" about your claim.
