The disadvantage is that calling a lambda is different from calling a

feels like modifying [unknown] so that lambdas can be called like a

Oh, that's easily done:
% proc know what {
if ![info complete $what] {error "incomplete command(s) $what"}
proc unknown args $what\n[info body unknown]
}
% know {
if {[llength [lindex $args 0]]==2} {return [eval [linsert $args 0
apply]]}
}
% set try {{a b} {expr {$a * $b}}}
{a b} {expr {$a * $b}}
% $try 7 6
42
It just conflicts with spaces in command names, so don't do both... :^)
