I found it hard to interpret some specific pcase constructs despite
having read its documentation. It did not come naturally. However,
with more experience I have learned to understand them. It still
requires an annoying amount concentration, but I can do it.
I still think pcase is inconvenient in some of its uses -- once
one gets beyond the basic kinds of patterns.
I do not advocate removing or changing pcase itself. Too much code
depends on it. I do hope to discourage its use inside Emacs in
favor of cond*.
