Alists certainly are more generally useful and versatile, but for this
kind of values, I find plists + keywords much simpler to use and
understand than alists.

E.g. it's trivial to make such a value:

     (list :buffer (current-buffer) :point (point))

However, if you decide an alist is better, shouldn't it be:

 '((buffer . BUFFER) (point . POINT))

using conses rather than lists as values ?
