I'm sorry, I responded a little too fast (and it's the middle of the night,
ugh). Roots, Octs, and Modes aren't the same types (String vs. Integer), so
my second suggestion is broken.

Hello! You have several options. First, consider that when you lookup (see
Prelude.find) a field in the alist, you're going to stop as soon as you find
the first match. So, as long as you're appending new fields to the front of
list, then you'll be ok (it will be correct, but not efficient).

Greetings,
I'm struggling to find a way to define an "Alist" once, and then simply
add-in "Fields" to it incrementally.. without having to keep using new
identifiers/variables to hold the result of each "addin" expression.
I understand that pure Functional Programming doesn't use destructive state
