Has anyone tapped into Collection and Property List Services in OS X yet? I know Patrick has a Preferences module, but I'm looking for a Property List
solution.

It seems like there was a class floating around that used property lists. As I recall it used only declares. I looked into doing something similar once upon a time, using only declares, but was frustrated by the lack of ability to specify callbacks - some of the more interesting container types require structures of callbacks be provided (for instance, arrays). There are default callback blocks for the basic types when passing them to the more interesting containers, however these are all specified as constants and thus are unavailable using the declare mechanism.
