Re: Plists and NIL.

You seem to be confused. GETF always operates on an immediate plist,
unlike GET, which operates on the plist of a given symbol. Thus (GETF Z
:A) always refers to the plist that is the value of the variable Z.
Whether or not NIL is a symbol or has a plist does not enter into the
picture. The correct result of 

  (setq z ())
  (setf (getf z :a) :b)
  z

is the list (:a :b).
