BTW, don't do that: instead, set it as a file-local variable with
"-*- lexical-binding: t -*-".

The (declare ...) form is used to give auxiliary info about the function
you're defining (such as info about how to indent it, how Edebug needs
to instrument it, or in our case how `setf' or `push' can "set" it).
The function itself ignores it. So the definition above is like
(defun alist-get (key alist)
"Get the value associated to KEY in ALIST.")
I.e. you removed the body of the function (which was the last line:
(cdr (assoc key alist))
).

See C-h f gv-define-expander RET and `gv-get'.

There's a chance, but if you could explain why (push (cons KEY VAL) ALIST)
doesn't work for you, that would help,
Stefan
