        It is a poor practice to directly set or append to the value
        of the objResult of an interp, because that value might be
        shared, and in that circumstance a Tcl_Panic() will be the
        result.  Searched for example of this practice and replaced
        with safer alternatives, often using the Tcl_AppendResult()
        routine that dkf just rehabilitated.
