@item (checklist @var{type} @dots{})
The @var{type} arguments represent each checklist item.  The value will
be a list containing the values of all checked @var{type} arguments.
The checklist will match a list whose elements all match at least one of
the specified @var{type} arguments.

Usually a checklist will only match if the items are in the exact
sequence given in the specification.  If you supply the additional
arguments @code{:greedy t}, it will allow the items to come in any
sequence.  However, if you extract the value they will be in the
sequence given in the checklist, i.e.@: the original sequence is
forgotten.

Using this type with @code{:greedy} is useful for specifying association
or property lists with keys from a fixed set and properly-typed
arguments.
