In fact my view is that the TCL keyword (even if it's actually an extension and not a language built-in) should *not* be documented via a manpage, or at least not without requiring some special option to "man" (e.g. man -tcl switch). I regard this (and similar Perl pages) as an aberration. All it does is pollute the reference space for those (the huge majority) who are not TCL or Perl programmers. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
