Just out of curiosity: What's the genuine advantage of an extra-
slot and/or property-lists
over using a hash-table? Some things that come to my mind are:
- performance: an extra-slot is faster than a table-lookup, which
on the other hand scales
better than a-lists.
Quibble - a proplist is not an alist: ('a 1 'b 2) vs ('(a 1) '(b 2))
Best whishes
