While indeed there were no responses to the original message,
other proposed implementations can be found as well, e.g.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2002-04/msg00669.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2002-04/msg00671.html

Also there are threads discussing 'org--tag-add-to-alist' and
'package--append-to-alist' (renamed from 'package--add-to-alist').
