A new type of associative-only list, called alist(), can be used for improved performance in some cases where you want key-value pairs without other list baggage. Some differences from regular lists include:
  • No random access (can't get the Nth item)
  • No duplicated "keys"
  • Numbers can be used as keys

Associative lists without regular list baggage would be helpful.
