I'm open to improvement suggestions, as long as they keep the thing
consistent.
We could try to define a new pattern offering destructuring looking less
"unusual" (though we already have `seq' provided by seq.el which has
very simple semantics). OTOH I think ` is already quite optimal for the
set of features it offers.
For the _ pattern, I guess we could reinvent it's meaning in pcase in
general. But I don't see how the resulting semantics could be made
equally simple as it is currently.
Just changing what _ does in pcase's ` to save a comma would IMHO be
what we call in German "verschlimmbessern" (my dictionary says you can
translate that into "disimprove").

Michael.
