Also, we already have a library map.el that is another generalization of
these things.  Let's not add a third implementation.

Emacs had once a library alist.el IIRC.  Dunno if it had been part of
Emacs or third party, but it had been quite popular.  It had been
obsoleted by `alist-get' and map.el.  That's not so long ago.
Let's avoid going around in circles and think twice about the final
feature set we aim at, and how we can get there.

Michael.
