Yes but the with-SOMETHING macros also exist in Common Lisp and are also
easy to understand.  Most of the time, it reads as « execute this body
with this resource taken/opened/locked and eventually do some
house-keeping said resource ».  A pattern matching construct will, of
course, be more complex.
