/* Dirk:API2.0:: We should not return #f if the key was not found.  In the
 * current solution we can not distinguish between finding a (key . #f) pair
 * and not finding the key at all.
 *
 * Possible alternative solutions:
 * 1) Remove assq-ref from the API:  assq is sufficient.
 * 2) Signal an error (what error type?) if the key is not found.
 * 3) provide an additional 'default' parameter.
 * 3.1) The default parameter is mandatory.
 * 3.2) The default parameter is optional, but if no default is given and
 *      the key is not found, signal an error (what error type?).
