Re: Who designed that [dict] command anyway?!? [Was: Core commands as ensembles...]

Since [apply] lacks [with]s ability to change values in the dict, I was
thinking of re-implementing [with] using [upvar], but with either a
list of item names to export, or assigning the items into an array
instead of plain variables. Either is preferable when you may not be
the one who built the dict in the first place.

See [dictutils apply] at http://wiki.tcl.tk/17686
