Examples:
(defparameter *alist* (acons 1 "one" (acons 2 "two" '()))) *alist* => ((1 . "one") (2 . "two")) (defparameter *list-copy* (copy-list *alist*)) *list-copy* => ((1 . "one") (2 . "two")) (defparameter *alist-copy* (copy-alist *alist*)) *alist-copy* => ((1 . "one") (2 . "two")) (setf (cdr (assoc 2 *alist-copy*)) "deux") => "deux" *alist-copy* => ((1 . "one") (2 . "deux")) *alist* => ((1 . "one") (2 . "two")) (setf (cdr (assoc 1 *list-copy*)) "uno") => "uno" *list-copy* => ((1 . "uno") (2 . "two")) *alist* => ((1 . "uno") (2 . "two"))
