Hi

Overall I like the series: I think I agree with all of Jani's
comments. 

My one extra comment is that I think we should decide on whether we also
want a sexp plist version. I think we might want one for the emacs
front-end as that currently uses plists for everything.

If we do we might want to change the names a little, both for functions
and options (eg sexp_a and sexp_p or something). Probably a lot of
sprinter-sexp would be common to both versions.

Best wishes

Mark
