+CASES is a list of elements of the form (UPATTERN CODE...).
+
+UPatterns can take the following forms:
+ _ matches anything.
+ SYMBOL matches anything and binds it to SYMBOL.
+ (or UPAT...) matches if any of the patterns matches.
+ (and UPAT...) matches if all the patterns match.
+ `QPAT matches if the QPattern QPAT matches.
+ (pred PRED) matches if PRED applied to the object returns non-nil.
+
+QPatterns can take the following forms:
+ (QPAT1 . QPAT2) matches if QPAT1 matches the car and QPAT2 the cdr.
+ ,UPAT matches if the UPattern UPAT matches.
+ ATOM matches if the object is `eq' to ATOM.
+QPatterns for vectors are not implemented yet.
+
+PRED can take the form
+ FUNCTION in which case it gets called with one argument.
+ (FUN ARG1 .. ARGN) in which case it gets called with N+1 arguments.
+A PRED of the form FUNCTION is equivalent to one of the form (FUNCTION).
+PRED patterns can refer to variables bound earlier in the pattern.
+E.g. you can match pairs where the cdr is larger than the car with a pattern
+like `(,a . ,(pred (< a))) or, with more checks:
+`(,(and a (pred numberp)) . ,(and (pred numberp) (pred (< a))))"
