I don't know the nuances of the TCL language. In the grammar, do
brackets always define a list, or only when the preceding keyword
is syntactically expecting a list to follow?
If whitespace is being parsed as a list separator, I would expect
these two statements to be equivalent:
-re {^hi there} ...
and:
-re {^hi there} ...
But they are not.
I couldn't come up with a test case where escaping the space made
any actual difference. (Just conceptual difference?) Is there a
subtle case where the distinction matters?
Quentin
