// Any nil values encountered, other than the root, will be silently discarded as
// the property list format bears no representation for nil values.
//
// Strings, integers of varying size, floats and booleans are encoded unchanged.
// Strings bearing non-ASCII runes will be encoded differently depending upon the property list format:
// UTF-8 for XML property lists and UTF-16 for binary property lists.
//
// Slice and Array values are encoded as property list arrays, except for
// []byte values, which are encoded as data.
//
// Map values encode as dictionaries. The map's key type must be string; there is no provision for encoding non-string dictionary keys.
//
// Struct values are encoded as dictionaries, with only exported fields being serialized.
// Struct field encoding may be influenced with the use of tags.
// The tag format is:
//
//	`plist:"<key>[,flags...]"`
//
// The following flags are supported:
//
//	omitempty    Only include the field if it is not set to the zero value for its type.
//
// If the key is "-", the field is ignored.
//
// Anonymous struct fields are encoded as if their exported fields were exposed via the outer struct.
//
// Pointer values encode as the value pointed to.
//
// Channel, complex and function values cannot be encoded. Any attempt to do so causes Marshal to return an error.
