And let's not forget that what I used this term currently is to talk
about the specific way pcase patterns are used within pcase-let
(i.e. the way pcase-let and friends skip the tests to verify that the
pattern does match).

So maybe we should just say "a pattern used to destructure" to clarify
that it's not a property of the pattern but of the way it's being used.
