Just one clarification -- most of the large Tcl applications[*]
actually are built with [incr Tcl], which provides namespaces and a
C++ style object system. (Written by Michael McLennan at Lucent,
"[incr Tcl]" has the same semantic meaning as "C++".)

[*] and some of the applications are very impressive!
