I will have a closer look into that, looks cool to me. Does your example
imply that the variable must exist before it can be used that way? This

No. 'Normal' variables don't inherit that behavior (for that you can
use the [unknown] trick).

Forgot to link to the [unknown] trick. Richard Suchenwirth have written
a much more powerful and flexible system at http://wiki.tcl.tk/2776
which also works with 'ordinary' variables. It should do what you want
better than my hack.
