I actually would agree.  The purist in me would want to use a  
language with a simple exhaustive case construct
and pattern-binders and no more; but the pragmatist in me does,  
usually, go with the flow of the language and use some of
the more complex pattern-matching constructs.

However, I did edit the web page to include an improved description  
of First Class Patterns, for a point of
reference and comparison.
