Why is it that assoc takes KEY ALIST, whereas assoc-ref (and all the other guile alist procs) takes the arguments in the reverse order: ALIST KEY? Is this historical? Since RnRS demands KEY ALIST, it seems it'd be nicer if assoc-ref used the same ordering. Or at least the documentation (even in its minimalist form) should stress the order of these args as being unusual. I don't think this is the first time I've been confused by them. Greg
