... which is belied further down by the description
of `lax-plist-get'.
That's the point. The intro says that they all use
`eq' - which is wrong. The entry for `plist-get'
says nothing about comparison. The entry for `lax...'
says it uses `equal'.
Parallel construction calls for each to say what it
uses, and remove the statement saying that they all
use `eq'.
This is about making the doc clearer.
