​The documentation  should suggest using str_ keys unless pickling is
essential. This rule of them should apply to any new plugin that the code
academy creates.

I wonder. Is it possible to get the effect of what you suggest without
actually changing Leo's file format?  Some convention like only pickling
keys that started with pickle_.  At present, there is no p.u property, so
maybe p.u could do the switcheroo.

But no, that's a terrible idea. It would lead to confusion and broken
plugins. The switcheroo would have to be bulletproof, but it can't be.  v.u
already exists, so changing v.u would break plugins.  Bad things will
happen long-term if p.u is different from p.v.u. Nobody, including me, is
going to remember that p.u != p.v.u.  So there's no way.

In short, the documentation should just encourage the use of str_ keys.
