Subject: 25.0.92; What's the replacement for assoc*
Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2016 14:25:15 -0400

Hi,

I upgraded to Emacs 25 pretest and some elisp I was using now
gives me the error:

    cdr: Symbol’s function definition is void: assoc*

I looked in NEWS ('view-emacs-news') but didn't see anything
about its removal nor a recommendation on its replacement
functionality.

Can you provide me any guidance?

Thanks.

My recommendation would be to (require 'cl-lib) and use `cl-assoc'.
However, if you (require 'cl) you should still be able to use `assoc*'
(it's defined there as an alias of `cl-assoc').
