I think these are too marginal needs to support directly. When there is need for converting between different alist types, a simple map will do. If we take the path of generality, why not support plists too, so that we need to parameterise with "function for getting/making next cell". I don't think this kind of generality will pay off. I'd rather define these routines to account for the most common situation(s) and be done with it.
