ASSOC-STRING-EQUAL

look up key, a string, in association list
Major Section:  PROGRAMMING

(Assoc-string-equal x alist) is similar to assoc-equal. However, for string x and alist alist, the comparison of x with successive keys in alist is done using string-equal rather than equal.

The guard for assoc-string-equal requires that x is a string and alist is an alist.
