Hello

I was surprised to learn that `pcase-setq' isn't implemented.
The manual mentions that it is not implemented, but not why.

Please (re-)consider adding it.

     Thanks!

Additional pcase features and pcase-setq are too complicated to port
back via Compat. I made a quick attempt a while back in the
feature/pcase branch, which resulted in a lot of code and which didn't
work. I've asked Stefan Monnier if making pcase available as a :core
package would be an option but Stefan wasn't positive about that.

I see.  Thanks for the information and your work on this package and
others.
