The error message (wrong-type-argument listp "bigoplus"), suggests that the
code
expects a list argument but is receiving a string instead.
Doing C-h f pcase says
(pcase EXP &rest CASES)
Evaluate EXP to get EXPVAL; try passing control to one of CASES.
Does not specify whether EXP is a string or whatever.
