It's also unclear to me how you want to match (quasiquote <any>) with
any restricted syntax that is a common subset of all three matchers
(here, quasiquote is to be matched literally).

The obvious answer

`(quasiquote ,<any>)

works for the "FHD" matcher, but wouldn't work for the "WCS" matcher
when it understands the nesting level of quasiquoting.
