Fair enough.

The docstring didn't mention what was the effect if SYMBOL was a plist, so I thought I'd take the chance of improving the docstring for the function that also affects the suggested values. But maybe that can be left for another patch, so I dropped it in this new one. Thanks for reviewing, I hope this patch is better.
