;;; Commentary:
;; This package offers a single macro, `let-alist'. This macro takes a
;; first argument (whose value must be an alist) and a body.
;;
;; The macro expands to a let form containing body, where each dotted
;; symbol inside body is let-bound to their cdrs in the alist. Dotted
;; symbol is any symbol starting with a `.'. Only those present in
;; the body are let-bound and this search is done at compile time.
;;
;; For instance, the following code
;;
;; (let-alist alist
;; (if (and .title .body)
;; .body
;; .site
;; .site.contents))
;;
;; essentially expands to
;;
;; (let ((.title (cdr (assq 'title alist)))
;; (.body (cdr (assq 'body alist)))
;; (.site (cdr (assq 'site alist)))
;; (.site.contents (cdr (assq 'contents (cdr (assq 'site alist))))))
;; (if (and .title .body)
;; .body
;; .site
;; .site.contents))
;;
;; If you nest `let-alist' invocations, the inner one can't access
;; the variables of the outer one. You can, however, access alists
;; inside the original alist by using dots inside the symbol, as
;; displayed in the example above by the `.site.contents'.
;;
;;; Code:
(defun let-alist--deep-dot-search (data)
"Return alist of symbols inside DATA that start with a `.'.
Perform a deep search and return an alist where each car is the
symbol, and each cdr is the same symbol without the `.'."
(cond
((symbolp data)
(let ((name (symbol-name data)))
(when (string-match "\\`\\." name)
;; Return the cons cell inside a list, so it can be appended
;; with other results in the clause below.
(list (cons data (intern (replace-match "" nil nil name)))))))
((vectorp data)
(apply #'nconc (mapcar #'let-alist--deep-dot-search data)))
((not (consp data)) nil)
((eq (car data) 'let-alist)
;; For nested ‘let-alist’ forms, ignore symbols appearing in the
;; inner body because they don’t refer to the alist currently
;; being processed. See Bug#24641.

(t (append (let-alist--deep-dot-search (car data))

"Return a sexp used to access SYMBOL inside VARIABLE."

clean

"Turn symbols LIST into recursive calls to `cdr' `assq' on VAR."
