using " as part of the string value?--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 10:53, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
: In TCL, "everything is a string" (or list, depending on how you look at it). <code>{a b c}</code> is the same as <code>"a b c"</code>, which will lead to some unfortunate ambiguities. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 16:25, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
:: ah, yes, that's a problem. actually, i found that the real problem is that a single element list is indistinguishable from the element itself:
% puts [list [list [list a]]]
a
:: therefore tagging is already needed just to distinguish lists from atoms.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 17:37, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
