I've been playing around with Ltac2, hoping I might be able to use it for some evil toy metaprogramming I wanted to try out, but I'm not sure if it supports the necessary features—is it just me, or is antiquotation into patterns impossible?

The corresponding function is known to be broken, so I'd like to have a clear understanding of the feature before implementing it
