Good. (Seems to be accepted by the list members.)

No arguments, but maybe we can allow a little more flexibility
(in the list world) by adding an optional argument 'acons' to
hash-table->alist.
Default would be 'cons' to give the specified behavior.
'list' (and even 'vector') might make some people happier.

One could similarly add two (or one) optional arguments 'get-key' and
'get-value' to alist->hash-table. Defaults would be 'car' and 'cdr'.
