If you want to support older Emacsen, it's probably better. But it's up to you, and I don't know exactly what your code does (I was going from the macro expansion you posted). >> I hope it can go into the core so it's available by default.

There was no URL in your post and I don't see an assoc-let package in any of the ELPA repos I know. Anyhow, it's your code, please publish it however you wish. Ted
