These kinds of things you don't really *want* to work with weak
lists: They're fundamentally different from ordinary lists. I'd
even want to remove WEAK-LIST-MAP. The ... was not meant to reflect
that I'd want more accessors.
But others would, in such a setting. My primary concern is that if
you add stuff like weak-list-assq, you're opening a Pandora's box for
dozens of weak-list-* functions.
