+Syntax:

+Description:
+
+A property list a flat list of even length consisting of interleaved
+pairs of property names (usually symbols) and their values (arbitrary
+objects). An example property list is (:a 1 :b "two") which contains
+two properties, :a having value 1, and :b having value "two".
+
+The prop function searches property list <plist> for key <key>. If
+the key is found, then the value next to it is returned. Otherwise
+nil is returned.
+
+It is ambiguous whether nil is returned due to the property not being
+found, or due to the property being present with a nil value.
