Doc strings which specify fully the arguments to these macros, including
their semantics, and say what the macros do.  The current doc strings
(at least some of them) for these macros don't do this.

Entries in the elisp manual.  These don't exist at all.  (Or, if they
do, they don't have index entries.)

I've had such questions in the past, and had to answer them by time
consuming guessing, reading the source of pcase-..., and
experimentation.  Adequate documentation would have saved me a great
deal of time, frustration, and uncertainty.
