You can use pcase-let* and the ‘map’ pcase pattern (from the built-in
map.el) as a substitute when working with alists and hash tables.  IOW,
the following two code snippets are equivalent:

(pcase-let* (((map foo bar) '((foo . 1) (bar . 2))))
  (+ foo bar))

(cl-destructuring-bind (&key foo bar) '(:foo 1 :bar 2)
  (+ foo bar))
