It is called `add-to-list' and has the additional advantage of being
idempotent: it will not add a value to the list if it's already
there.  This is a plus when you reload your init-files e.g.

Note that the order of the arguments is different compared to `push'
and that the list variable must be quoted:

     (add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("[.]tex$" . utf-8))
