  @var{symbol}'s property list.  If there is no such property, @code{nil}
  is returned.  Thus, there is no distinction between a value of
  @code{nil} and the absence of the property.
+ A @code{wrong-type-argument} error may be signaled if @var{symbol}
+ has a malformed property list.
  
  The name @var{property} is compared with the existing property names
  using @code{eq}, so any object is a legitimate property.

  See @code{put} for an example.
  @end defun
  
+ @defun safe-get symbol property
+ This function finds the value of the property named @var{property} in
+ @var{symbol}'s property list.  Unlike @code{get}, it just returns
+ @code{nil} if @var{symbol} has a malformed property list.
+ @end defun
+ 
  @defun put symbol property value
  This function puts @var{value} onto @var{symbol}'s property list under
  the property name @var{property}, replacing any previous property value.
