Only some work was done by me.

For me, personally (and only that) the documentation got worse.  That's
ok if it helps a lot of people.  If you have a more mathematical
background, the intention and the idea behind `pcase' are somewhat
shadowed now.

That would further shadow the idea.

It is obviously necessary to understand that design idea.  Seems this is
the major problem for most people.  We should probably do this in the
documentation if we have not yet.  Or did we?
