The documentation focuses almost completely on property lists attached
to the property list cell of a symbol. Only the "Other Plists" node
(aka Property Lists Outside Symbols) discusses disembodied property
lists (as the are known in other Lisp dialects). Note that you will
never get a property with duplicate keys if you construct it solely with
put and plist-put.
