Detailed Description

@addtogroup m17nPlist
@brief Property List objects and API for them.
A @e property @e list (or @e plist for short) is a list of zero or
more properties.  A property consists of a @e key and a @e value,
where key is a symbol and value is anything that can be cast to
<tt>(void *)</tt>.
If the key of a property is a @e managing @e key, its @e value is
a @e managed @e object.  A property list itself is a managed
objects.
If each key of a plist is one of #Msymbol, #Mtext, #Minteger, and
#Mplist, the plist is called as @e well-formed and represented by
the following notation in the documentation.



      PLIST ::= '(' ELEMENT * ')'


      ELEMENT ::= INTEGER | SYMBOL | M-TEXT | PLIST


      M-TEXT ::= '"' text data ... '"'

For instance, if a plist has four elements; integer -20, symbol of
name "sym", M-text of contents "abc", and plist of integer 10 and
symbol of name "another-symbol", it is represented as this:


  (-20 sym "abc" (10 another-symbol))
