Why? I did consider both and decided that a plist will be better in my
use-case. Reasons: it is short anyway (no more than 3-5 properties at
most), and I need to change it frequently (i.e., change the values of
individual properties). This last operation seems much nicer in
a plist. AFAIK, the "canonical" way to change a key-value pair in an
alist is to push the new one at the beginning. In my case, the list
will grow quickly.
