   Hmm... I think this text should be changed to use the term
   "pattern" for "U(-)pattern".

I've come around to this pov as well.  See latest commits.

WRT Q-pattern:

My understanding is that `QPAT is an "extension" in deed (since
it's implemented via ‘pcase-defmacro’), but perhaps "innate" in
spirit.  I moved the "structural pattern" stuff to the

 (pcase-defmacro \` (qpat) ...)

docstring and added a comment in ‘pcase--make-docstring’ (but
have not changed any code).  I think if we can get `QPAT to be
first in the extensions docs (in *Help*), this would satisfy
both the maintainability best practice (keep documentation near
its code) and the user experience best practice (good flow,
ordering).

What do people think?
