   [http://clish.sourceforge.net%|%CLISH]:   Command Line Interface SHell.  A modular framework for implementing a CISCO-like CLI on a *NIX system. Arbitary command menus and actions can be defined using XML files. This software handles the user interaction, and forks the appropriate commands to perform any actions.  Compiles to a modified Tcl interpreter (tclish) where each command line action maps to a Tcl script.
** Description **

[Tcl] is extensively used to configure [Cisco]'s [Cisco IOS%|%IOS]
(Internetworking Operating System), which is available in a broad spectrum of
Cisco products.

Given Cisco's broad use of [Tcl] it would seem reasonable for the company to
contribute to the further development of Tcl.  Is anyone aware of any activity
in this respect?
