Probably right if there is one value associated to the key. It also
allows for cyclic terms and terms with attributed variables. Hate to see
it is still useful for some stuff :-(

If there are many values associated to a key or if the associated terms
are large and lookup may fail early due to a partially instantiated
result in get_state/2, assert/retract probably wins.
