Create a newly allocated mapping as if by mapping using comparator. If the result of applying the predicate stop? to seed is true, return the mapping. Otherwise, apply the procedure mapper to seed. Mapper returns two values which are added to the mapping as the key and the value, respectively. Then get a new seed by applying the procedure successor to seed, and repeat this algorithm. Associations earlier in the list take precedence over those that come later.

Note that the choice of precedence in mapping and mapping-unfold is compatible with mapping-adjoin and alist->mapping detailed below and with alist->hash-table from SRFI 125, but different from the one in mapping-set from below.
