[Openmcl-devel] matching patterns

[Taoufik Dachraoui]

Another example to match a binary tree I thought is important to show what
can be done with match:

(match '(a ((b c) (d e))) ((:or (:type symbol) (this this)) 'ok))
OK

? (match '((a b) (c)) ((:or (:type symbol) (this (:lone this))) 'ok))
OK

where (:lone pattern) means that pattern is optional

we can use the following keywords: :or, :and, :not, :some, :all, :lone,
:var, :type, :match and this
