I think so -- I've been using el-search now for a few hours, and what
takes 90% of my time is typing `C-u M-x el-search-directory RET
~/src/emacs/trunk/lisp/ RET M-p' and then I can edit the pcase form, and
then RET, wait a bit, and O, wait some more, and then I can start
working.

Well, OK, it's really `C-u M-x M-p RET M-p RET M-p', but that's not kind
on the fingers, either.  :-)  I'd just like to plop the some expression in
*scratch* and eval it after each pcase edit.
