Yes, it might do that.  Would you like to help write it?
I think some parts of the pcase code could be adapted.

`match*' is not an independent construct defined on its own.
It is meaningful only within a cond* construct.  In effect,
it marks a certain part of the cond*.

If someone can figure out a way that `match*' could be meaningful on
its own, whi;e also working together with `cond*' so that the two
function together as desired, that would be a neat hack.  But I'm not
aiming for that.
