  Description     : functions for dealing with associative structures

Library for dealing with associative data structures: alists, hash-maps,
and vectors (for vectors, the indices are treated as keys).

This library is largely inspired by Clojure, it has many of the
functions found in clojure.core, prefixed with `a-'. All functions treat
their arguments as immutable, so e.g. `a-assoc' will clone the
hash-table or alist it is given. Keep this in mind when writing
performance sensitive code.

This is a new dependency of pcre2el, needed to fix RC bug. The package
will be maintained under Debian Emacsen team umbrella.
