(defmacro helm-acase (expr &rest clauses)
  "Check if EXPR match KEYLIST and then execute BODY.

`helm-acase' is a small macro mixing the features of `cl-case'
and `cond'.

KEYLIST can be any object that will be compared with `equal' or
an expression starting with special symbol `guard*' which is then
evaluated.  Once evaluated the symbol `guard' is bound to the
returned value that can be used in the cdr of clause.  When
KEYLIST match EXPR or `guard*' sexp evaluation is non-nil, BODY
is executed and `helm-acase' exits with its value.
Note:
`guard*' sexp should not be a single symbol to eval, e.g. (guard* foo)
in such cases you should use (guard* (progn foo)).

KEYLIST can also be a list starting with special symbol `dst*'
followed by an expression suitable for `cl-destructuring-bind'.
In this case all elements of `it' are bound to the elements of
this expression e.g.

    (helm-acase \\='(1 2 3 4 5)
      ((dst* (l &rest args)) args))
    => (2 3 4 5)

If KEYLIST is a list, it is compared with EXPR, also each
elements of the list are checked with `member' to see if one
matches EXPR, ensure to not use special symbols `guard*' and
`dst*' at start of such KEYLIST to avoid confusing helm-acase
even if this is partially supported.

The last clause can use `t' or \\='otherwise as KEYLIST to specify a
fallback clause when previous clauses didn't match, if such a clause
starting with `t' or \\='otherwise is specified before last clause it
will override all next clauses, if you want to match an EXPR value equal
to `t' in any clauses quote it, i.e. `'t' or use an explicit
\(guard* (eq it t)).

EXPR is bound to a temporary variable called `it' which is
usable in all clauses to refer to EXPR.

Similar to the emacs-24.5 version without support to

Modify also `ansi-color-regexp' by using own variable

This is needed to provide compatibility for both emacs-25 and
emacs-24.5 as emacs-25 version of `ansi-color-apply' is partially
broken."
