I'm having trouble following your wording, but we voted on 5/26 to include
syntax-case essentially as it currently exists, with the current pattern
language intact.  We reaffirmed the decision on 5/27 when you brought up
the pattern-language issue again.  So we're down to a few minor issues
only, like adding a more general version of identifier-syntax.
