"An " { $emphasis "association list" } ", abbreviated " { $emphasis "alist" } ", is an association represented as a sequence where all elements are key/value pairs. The " { $link sequence } " mixin is an instance of the " { $link assoc } " mixin, hence all sequences support the " { $link "assocs-protocol" } " in this way."
$nl
"While not an association list, note that " { $link f } " also implements the associative mapping protocol in a trivial way; it is an immutable assoc with no entries."
$nl
"An alist is slower to search than a hashtable for a large set of associations. The main advantage of an association list is that the elements are ordered; also sometimes it is more convenient to construct an association list with sequence words than to construct a hashtable with association words. Much of the time, hashtables are more appropriate. See " { $link "hashtables" } "."
