Hi,

would it make sense to mention `proper-list-p' and `plistp' in the Elisp
manual? I got to know about these function by accident and
`proper-list-p' in particular is extremely useful in some situations.

Also, what about `alistp'? Would it make sense to add such function?

proper-list-p was already documented.  I added plistp.

> Also, what about `alistp'? Would it make sense to add such function?

I don't know.  When would it be useful?

Thanks! Note that `proper-list-p' is not listed in section 2.7.

I mostly expected it is exist, but it does not.
Also, there is `nested-alist-p'. So, not having `alistp' feels awkward.

I don't think this should bother us.  If you type "i proper list RET",
you will land in the node which describes that term; the very next
section documents proper-list-p.  So I think everything here is fine.

Most probably because no one needed it, at least not too frequently.
