Most likely, yes, tho I have no idea what the above means and haven't
seen the corresponding doc&code, so I can't guarantee it.

Assuming it means "if PAT matches, execute THEN (with the corresponding
bindings) for its side effects, and in all cases continue with ALWAYS
without PAT's bindings", then it's just

    (progn (pcase FORM ((PAT THEN)))
           (cond* . ALWAYS))

so that would be trivial to add, of course.
