14.2.38 pairlis | Function
  Syntax: pairlis keys data `&optional` alist new-alist Arguments and Values: keys - a proper list. data - a proper list. alist - an association list. The default is the empty list. new-alist - an association list. Description: Returns an association list that associates elements of keys to corresponding elements of data. The consequences are undefined if keys and data are not of the same length. If alist is supplied, pairlis returns a modified alist with the new pairs prepended to it. The new pairs may appear in the resulting association list in either forward or backward order. The result of
       (pairlis '(one two) '(1 2) '((three . 3) (four . 19)))
  might be
       ((one . 1) (two . 2) (three . 3) (four . 19))
  or
       ((two . 2) (one . 1) (three . 3) (four . 19))
  Examples:
       (setq keys '(1 2 3)
              data '("one" "two" "three")
              alist '((4 . "four")))  ((4 . "four"))
       (pairlis keys data)  ((3 . "three") (2 . "two") (1 . "one"))
       (pairlis keys data alist)
       ((3 . "three") (2 . "two") (1 . "one") (4 . "four"))
       alist  ((4 . "four"))
Exceptional Situations: Should be prepared to signal an error of type type-error if keys and data are not proper lists. See Also: acons Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
