Details:

When saving a plist recently from Cenon, I noticed that the output includes
GNUstep specific encoding for Integers and Real numbers, namely our *I and *R
directives.

GNUstep should output plists which are compatible with Mac OS X/Cocoa and
OpenStep by default so that no special changes to ported applications are
necessary.   

It is possible to read OS X Cenon files with GNUstep, but not GNUstep cenon
files with OS X.
