Why not go one further, and remove one of them?

Everything could be represented as functions of the form
<vB1,...> pattern my_func(<vA1,..>)

That is, everything could be called a pattern, could take a vector with 
Na components as an argument, and return a vector with Nb components.

Anywhere you would expect either a pattern or a vector, the new style 
pattern could be used.
