Yeah, that is what I meant.  Maybe the macro can support optional args
that specify the keys to be used.

    (assoc-let .foo .bar alist1
      (assoc-let .rms .gpl alist2 ; foo and bar bound to alist1
        ...                       ; rms and gpl bound to alist2

Maybe the name alist-let is more appropriate than assoc-let or assq-let
as this facility is of the same kind as alist-get.
