 This function works like @code{assoc}, except that @var{key} must be a
 string or symbol, and comparison is done using @code{compare-strings}.

 Unlike @code{assoc}, this function can also match elements of the alist
 that are strings or symbols rather than conses.  In particular, @var{alist} can
 be a list of strings or symbols rather than an actual alist.
