(plist-put '(:foo 1 :bar) :zot 2)
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp (:foo 1 :bar))
plist-put((:foo 1 :bar) :zot 2)
eval((plist-put '(:foo 1 :bar) :zot 2) nil)
elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)
call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
command-execute(eval-last-sexp)
The error seems to say that '(:foo 1 :bar) isn't a list. But the
problem is that it's not a valid plist, since it has an odd number of
elements.
So I think there should be a different error being signalled here. (And
there isn't really a backwards compatibility issue here of introducing a
new error symbol: Emacs 26.1 started signalling errors for these lists;
previously it was fine having odd plists.)
