I would inline its call and use `assoc-default' directly, but I guess
it's a matter of taste.

But wouldn't it be better if `assoc' took an optional testfn?  I'm not
sure I like the `full' parameter in `assoc-default', and I think the
inconsistency of the return values between `assoc' and `assoc-default'
is already confusing.
