No ignoring, it's just the wrong phase of the moon right now.
Please consider the cdr-assoc again. It could be improved, which improvements would encourage you to view it more favourably?
It is pretty useful to be able to use alists as an alternative to a small hash table.
I agree. I personally don't like the two proposed names, though: CDR-ASSOC, ALIST-GET Others I've come up with are ALIST-REF, GETA my personal favorite would be ASSOC-VALUE -T.
