Any bytevector qualifies as a pattern datum (any nonlist, nonvector,
nonsymbol datum) unless one takes "nonvector" as implying "nonbytevector".
I assume you don't mean to allow, more generally, patterns or templates
like #vu(3 4 x 5 6), where x is a pattern variable, since such patterns
and templates would be rejected when the program is read.
