It looks like, to me, the structure of the BODY arg of these two should
be the same (accepting a list froms).

(pcase-let ((a 1))
  (incf a)
  a)
     => 2

(pcase-let* ((a 1))
  (incf a)
  a)
     => 2

but the docstrings are using the different words.

(pcase-let BINDINGS &rest BODY)

Like `let' but where you can use `pcase' patterns for bindings.
BODY should be a list of expressions, and BINDINGS should be a list of bindings
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
of the form (PAT EXP).

(pcase-let* BINDINGS &rest BODY)

Like `let*' but where you can use `pcase' patterns for bindings.
BODY should be an expression, and BINDINGS should be a list of bindings
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
of the form (PAT EXP).
