** Description **

   ''I think experience has shown that it's best for a `[Tcl_ObjType]` author '''not''' to call `Tcl_RegisterObjType()`, but instead to provide a `My_GetFooFromObj()` routine.  objtype registration is an error wrapped in a mistake... name conflicts opportunities, with no sensible collision resolution.   All to the endpoint of issuing an invitation to intrude into private spaces.  Bleah.  The main positive value of the routine `Tcl_RegisterObjType()` is that it is a routine name by which you can call up the man page that documents the `[Tcl_ObjType]` interface.'':   [DGP], [Tcl Chatroom], 2014-05-05.
