Not knowing the specific references in question, I can't tell whether
the authors referenced are thinking of the "create an OO extension in
pure tcl" approach, or if they are thinking of using namespaces, the
package mechanism, etc. to make it easy to bundle up code, then
dynamically load and use the code in question.
