I've decided to treat this as an imp
lementation bug: documentation and
comments agree, and it seems as though the usage that
LET-MATCH/IF-MATCH was designed for, the match object isn't
important. (If you need it, just LET-bind it or use COND =>.)
If anyone disagrees, now's the time to speak up ...
