Procedure Name Control

General

  1. Tcl supports procedure for any string. It includes whitespace characters, empty strings.
  2. Tcl Procedure Name can contain namespace sequences.

Details

Tcl namespace

Tcl namespace is sequence of characters ":". The sequence have to contain at least 2 characters. Ex. ::a - global namespace -> Tcl will interpret it as a. ::::::a - global namespace -> Tcl will interpret it as a :a - not a namespace, it's word with ":" and "a" signs :::a::::g - global namespace, namespace a with entity g -> Tcl will interpret it as a::g :::a::::g:::: - global namespace, namespace a with namespace g with entity "" -> Tcl will interpret it as a::g::

Tcl Interpreter implementation

Default output for procedure name and variable name is simplied version of the name. Raw output format use full name.
