The built-in function assq ignores elements of the list that are not conses.
But the function assq-delete-all in subr.el fails. IMHO that is
inconsequent.
Therefore I suggest this patch:
(defun assq-delete-all (key alist)
"Delete from ALIST all elements whose car is KEY.
! Return the modified alist."
(let ((tail alist))
(while tail
! (if (eq (car (car tail)) key)
(setq alist (delq (car tail) alist)))
(setq tail (cdr tail)))
alist))
