I would say it is a general rule, following from the (CAR . CDR) principle of
Lisp data.

In our case, the CAR is 'cond' and the CDR is (((match ...)))

Without the dot (cond @X) is filled to

   (cond (((match ...))))

while *with* the dot it becomes

   (cond . (((match ...))))

which is the same as

   (cond ((match ...)))

which in turn is what we need here.
