The syntax should be something like:

(match '(Mr Hulot and I need a vacation)
  ((?x ... 'need ?y ...)
   (write (list ?x ?y))
   (newline)))

but at  present multiple ellipses  are not supported  at the
same level  (that is in the  same list or  the same vector).
It is  possible to do  it, but a  policy (greedy/non-greedy)
must  be  adopted  to  solve  ambiguous cases  and  it  gets
complicated.
