Given Tcl 8.5's {*} expand feature, and an earlier thought experiment about adding a leading "$" to every command (can't recall what wiki page this was) ...
What would a system be like if it worked as follows - this notation:
set obj {...}
set result [obj arg1 arg2 arg3]... would behave as if it had been written as follows in Tcl 8.5:
set obj {...}
set result [{*}$obj arg1 arg2 arg3]It obviously wouldn't be Tcl, since the variable and command namespace get mixed up when you start doing this.
But suppose you didn't care (Tcl 3000!) - would it be useful? convenient? worth looking into?
