Here's how the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual tells Lisp programmers
about this.

    5.8 Association Lists
    =====================

    An “association list”, or “alist” for short, records a mapping from keys
    to values.  It is a list of cons cells called “associations”: the CAR of
    each cons cell is the “key”, and the CDR is the “associated value”.(1)

Is there a way to make this better?
Where else could we do better?
