/** <p> This tool extracts a string value from a dictionary in a property
    list representation.<br />
    It takes one or more argument (the key to be extracted).<br />
    It expects to read the property list from STDIN.<br />
    It writes the string value (if any) on STDOUT<br />
    Where multiple keys are specified, they are used to extract nested
    values from dictionaries within the outermost dictionary.<br />
    Where the resulting object exists and is not a string,
    its description is written to STDOUT.
