A string property list is a delimited string containing multiple key-value pairs in the format "var1=value1; var2=value2;..."
For example:
[h: stringPropertyList="var1=foo; var2=bar; var3=baz;"]String property lists are zero-based (i.e., the first item in a string property list is item 0). When a key-value pair is extracted from a string property list using one of the available String Functions that work with string property lists, the value of the pair is considered a string, and must be converted to or evaluated to a number to perform numeric computations.
The default delimiter in a string property list is the semicolon (";"), however, the String Functions that work with string property lists permit the use of alternate delimiters.
String property lists may be stored in a token property.
