    ; Consistently call alists "association list"
    
    * doc/lispref/compile.texi (Compiler Errors):
    * doc/misc/gnus.texi (Score File Format):
    * etc/NEWS.24:
    * lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-run.el (with-suppressed-warnings):
    * lisp/progmodes/gdb-mi.el (gdb-threads-list)
    (gdb-breakpoints-list, gdb-place-breakpoints): Prefer the term
    "association list" for alists.
