Wow! There are accomplished Tcl programmers who *never*,
as far as I can tell, think about bytecodes, the event loop
(it belongs to Tcl now, rather than being exclusive to Tk,
as was the case when the books you're reading were written),
resource management (in the sense of the "options
database"--that is what you mean, no?), or namespaces. I'm
stunned you want to start with them.

This gives me a lot to think over.
