as-alist variable variables/valuesprocedure

Returns an alist represented by the request variables/values for the given variable. The request representation for alists is variable.key=value. Example: foo.a=1 would result in '((a . "1")) for the foo variable.

Example:

;; considering a http://server:port/path?foo.a=0&foo.b=1 request

(let (($ (request-vars)))
  ($ 'foo as-alist))   ;; => ((a . "0") (b . "1"))

as-alist returns #f when the wanted variable is not sent in the request or it is sent not in the dot notation (e.g., foo=0).
