I wouldn't call a `let' or `app' pattern that introduces a new binding
destructuring per se.  OTOH, I would call a pattern using ` that tests
e.g. the car of the matched object with e.g. `pred' destructuring even
if that car is not bound to a variable.

With other words: I would say a pattern where subpatterns are matched
against parts of a compound object is desctructuring.
