Re: After I overload "switch" command, how can I get back the original "switch" function back?

I am planning to overlad "switch" command in my application, and use

through my appliction. Any body can help me?

Write your own [switch] command in your own namespace:

namespace eval pheobe {
namespace export switch
proc switch args {...}
}

Use [namespace import ::pheobe::switch] to bring it into other
namespaces where you want to use it.

In any namespace where you have your [switch] imported, but you want to use Tcl's built-in [switch] command, access it via the fully qualified command name [::switch].

Please completely ignore anyone recommending [rename] as an answer to your question. They are still living in Tcl 7 land (aka 1997).
