****Comments****
[NEM]: Note that there is an initial implementation of [dict] for [Jacl] at [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1531490&group_id=13005&atid=313005] that could
be used as a starting point for this command. IIRC, around 90% functionality was implemented. Some polish and performance tuning required, and possibly bringing up
to date with current source. <<br>><<br>>

[RS] 2009-06-09: Re the [load] command, the main page says: ''Note: This command is designed to load C coded extensions into Tcl.  Jacl instead uses specialized commands to load Java extensions, "jaclloadjava", "jaclloaditcl", etc.'' - I think it would be more Tclish to implement a single [load] command, which maybe can only do Java and ITcl, but looks and feels like its counterpart.

****Reports****
'''2009-07-07''' by ''[rszulgo]'' <<br>>
`lset varName ?index...? newValue` was implemented. Tested with simple tests: <<br>>
 % set x [list [list a b c] [list d e f] [list g h i]]
 %  => {a b c} {d e f} {g h i}
 % lset x {j k l} => j k l
 % lset x {} {j k l} => j k l
 % lset x 0 j => j {d e f} {g h i}
 % lset x 2 j => {a b c} {d e f} j
 % lset x end j => {a b c} {d e f} j
 % lset x end-1 j => {a b c} j {g h i}
 % lset x 2 1 j => {a b c} {d e f} {g j i}
 % lset x {2 1} j => {a b c} {d e f} {g j i}
 % lset x {2 3} j => list index out of range
<<br>>
`namespace exists name` added.
<<br>>

'''2009-06-22''' by ''[rszulgo]'' <<br>>
`lsearch -all`, `lsearch -not`, `lsearch -inline`, `lsearch -start` now available!
<<br>>

'''2009-06-18''' by ''[rszulgo]'' <<br>>
`info tclversion` and `info patchlevel` now report "8.4" and "8.4.0", respectively. However, there's no Tcl 8.4 compilance level YET ;) 
<<br>>
<<br>>
[RLH] Is there a reasoning behind targeting 8.4? <<br>>
[rszulgo] At the end of this summer Jacl is going to be 8.4 compliant. It's one of the many steps to achive that.<<br>>
[TP] We are targeting 8.4 for the 2009 GSOC project largely due to the fact that there is a considerable amount of work
just to bring Jacl up to 8.4 compliance.  In other words, there is plenty of work to be done by one student working
one summer.  If time permits, select 8.5 features will also be addressed.  I am all for more hands working to bring Jacl
up to date after the 2009 GSOC project is finished. <<br>>

<<br>>
<<br>>
`info functions` implemented! It returns the list of math functions currently defined (Tcl 8.4) matching an optional pattern.<<br>>
<<br>>
`interp recursionlimit path ?limit?` added (master)<<br>>
`slave recursionlimit` added.<<br>>
In conseqence, the `maxDepthLevel` is inherited from the parent process. <<br>>
<<br>>
Still working on glob -types, -tails, -path switches.


'''2009-06-16''' by ''[rszulgo]'' <<br>>
Major changes in `glob` cmd implementation <<br>>
`glob -directory` added.<<br>>
`glob -join` added.<<br>>
fixed non-reported bug: `glob /bin/` returns `/bin` whereas in Tcl `/bin/` <<br>> 
<<br>>
Working on -types, -tails, -path switches now.
 

'''2009-06-08''' by ''[rszulgo]'' <<br>>
`array statistics` are made depracated and will not be implemented in Jacl.<<br>>
`clock` format %g and %G added (ISO 8601 2 and 4 digits year format)
