Re: Atoms in association lists

[dml@NADC.ARPA (D. Loewenstern)]

Actually, GCLisp handles atoms in alists by ignoring them, whether they are
strings, NIL, or other symbols.  E.g.,

(SETQ abc '(c (c . 3) NIL (NIL . 4)))
(ASSOC 'c abc) --> (c . 3)
(ASSOC nil abc) --> (NIL . 4)

This is in accordance with CLtL, I believe.
