Certainly a better way of dealing with alists would be useful. cdr-assoc is the customary name for this functionality. The problem is with the order of parameters: alist and key. As far as I know, cdr-assoc has been implemented both as taking the key first and as taking the alist first. That's why I wanted a new name. At least, getassoc (and presumably getrassoc) would clearly indicate key first, by analogy with gethash. I think that is sensible . . . I can send a new patch with the new names if you like. (If alexandria wakes up then I have a patch to fix some other stuff too.) _______________________________________________ alexandria-devel mailing list alexandria-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/alexandria-devel
