plist is an analog of parray that I concocted one evening on the Tcl'ers chat.
proc plist {varname {channel stdout}} { upvar 1 $varname var set len [string length [expr {[llength $var]-1}]] incr len 2 set i 0 foreach val $var { puts $channel [format "%s%-*s = %s" \ $varname $len \[$i\] [lindex $var $i]] incr i } }
