On this page I will write about little problems which I have with Tcl and about how I solve those problems. I think that these problems are so small, they don't deserve a whole wiki page, but are worth mentioning anyway.
Anybody is welcome to add their problems and solutions, since this is after all a wiki.

When looking at most modules you see, code like this is everywhere:
proc ::base64::encode { ... } { ...
...
proc ::base64::decode { ... } { ...
...Lots of typing to simply put a few procs into a seperate namespace. It may seem that this is a trivial issue - and it is. But I think it is worth looking for an alternative. So, I simply thought this one up:
proc _proc { name args body } {
proc "::${::_namespace}::$name" args body
}To use:
set _namespace "base64"
...
_proc encode { ... } { ...
...
_proc decode { ... } { ...
...I have not simply temporarily replaced proc because that could mess up when other modules are loaded.
Would be happy to hear about improvements to this.
