Why not use your top level NSUserDefaults as a dictionary and use each monitor name as a key for each object in the dictionary? Is that too clunky?
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsuserdefaults A default object must be a property list—that is, an instance of (or for collections, a combination of instances of) NSData <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsdata>, NSString <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsstring>, NSNumber <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsnumber>, NSDate <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsdate>, NSArray <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsarray>, or NSDictionary <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsdictionary>. Am I missing something here?
