I wouldn't worry about that, at least not now.  "Pattern", "matching",
"language", etc. are terms that are overloaded many times, and if we'd
worry about this, we'd be unable to come up with useful node names.
But you could say "Pattern Matching with Nodes" and "Programming
Language Definitions" instead, if you think that's better.
