These are not special to alists, they handle any kind of list.

And getting back to the point: how would namespaces help here?  If you
were after functions that handle alists, would you find a function
called list-assoc?

And what to do with functions that work on many different types of
arguments, like 'length' and 'nth' and 'aref'? in what namespace to
put them?
