Using `assoc' makes sure you pick-up the option of the wanted class.
In rare corner cases there may be more than one entry in that alist,
your solution is not granted to pick-up the right option.

A patch is always better, because we can more easily preserve
authorship of the change and you can include the appropriate message.
In addition, when you add a new style file, you have also to edit
Makefile.in, so it's never a single-file-change ;-)

When you create a new file, please copy and adapt the copyright header
from other existing files, do not do it on your own.  The previous
file you sent had a wrong format, see
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=auctex.git;a=commitdiff;h=d833e0e3efc271e6d12b82ba5bb91ecd631e620a
