Subject: Is there already an alist function which gets all matching elements,  not just the first?
Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2022 10:00:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Yz1VqhXOBLxY38gr@ACM> (raw)

Hello, Emacs.

I want to be able to get all matching elements from an alist (thinking
about extending imenu).  Something like

    (assoc-all key list)

which would return a list of matches.  After all, we have functions
which _delete_ all matches from an alist.

Does such a function already exist, perhaps in cl-*.el?

Thanks!
