 22.7.2.1 Alist Key Equality
 ...........................
 
 All of Guile's dedicated association list procedures, apart from
 `acons', come in three flavours, depending on the level of equality
 that is required to decide whether an existing key in the association
 list is the same as the key that the procedure call uses to identify the
 required entry.
 
    * Procedures with "assq" in their name use `eq?' to determine key
      equality.
 
    * Procedures with "assv" in their name use `eqv?' to determine key
      equality.
 
    * Procedures with "assoc" in their name use `equal?' to determine
      key equality.
 
    `acons' is an exception because it is used to build association
 lists which do not require their entries' keys to be unique.
