+2000-07 (feature rewrite) complete rewrite of the Tcl IO channel subsystem
+to correct problems (hangs, core dumps) with the initial stacked channel
+implementation. The new system has many more tests for robustness and
+scalability. There are new C APIs (see Tcl_CreateChannel), but only
+stacked channel drivers are affected (ie: TLS, Trf, iogt). The iogt
+extension has been added to the core test code to test the system.
