+@defun alist-get key value &optional default
+This function is like @code{assq}, but instead of returning the entire
+association for @var{key}, @code{(@var{key} . @var{value})}, it
+returns just the @var{value}. It returns @var{default} if @var{key}
+is not found in @var{alist}, defaulting to @code{nil} if @var{default}
+is omitted.
+@end defun
