In Common Lisp, an alist is something like this:
((cars . genres) (bmw . adventure) (chevrolet . horror) (ford .
mystery))
Where (cars . genres) is a cons cell with values in both slots. So an
alist is a list of key/value pairs where order is significant and keys
could appear more than once. Not much different than:
[[cars genres] [bmw adventure] [chevrolet horror] [ford mystery]]
