(with-stolen-alist name form) ensures that name is a fast alist at the
start of the execution of form. At the end of execution, it ensures that
name is a fast alist if and only if it was originally. That is, if
name was not a fast alist originally, its hash table link is freed, and if
it was a fast alist originally but its table was modified during the execution
of form, that table is restored. Note that any extended table created from
the original fast alist during form must be manually freed.

Logically, with-stolen-alist just returns form.
Under the hood, we cause alist to become a fast alist before executing
form, and we check the various conditions outlined above before returning
the final value.
Note that with-stolen-alist will cause logically tail-recursive functions
not to execute tail-recursively if its cleanup phase happens after the
tail-recursive call returns.
