The feeling I get from having read c.l.l for a while is that the
preferred way is to use hash-tables instead of attaching things to the
symbol's property list.
Also, having worked on maxima a bit which does attach properies to
symbols, I must say I really dislike that. There's no one place to go
to find out the magic properties. I have to look at every single
symbol to find out if it's magic. :-( And a lot of the properties
are attached via hairy macros, so it's a pain to find those too.
