Wouldn’t a “cl-case :test #'match ...”, where each `match' would be the
simple-destructuring case-less version of `pcase' and `cl-case' would
manage `:test' optional keyword, work?  As for using bindings, either
modifying cl-case (maybe getting it able to use external hooks?), either
with ugly side effects (replacing “#'match” per “(lambda (arg) (setq
local-pattern-env (match arg)))”, then wrapping bodies with a “let-alist
local-pattern-env”) (and making that a macro, but agreed it would be
ugly and not optimized)?
