It does have a way of doing something similar to patterns, though less
sophisticated -- the argument list of a macro is actually used with
`destructuring-bind', so you can do things like

    CL-USER(1): (defmacro bind ((var val) &body body)
                  `(let ((,var ,val)) , at body))
    BIND
    CL-USER(2): (bind (x 1) (+ x 2))
    3

It's missing keyword matching, the magical `...', and, of course, it's
not limited to just rewrite rules.  But that's as irrelevant as
pattern matching is to `syntax-case' discussions.
