Experimental (partial) fix for [39f6304c2e90549c209cd11a7920dc9921b9f48e|39f6304c2e]: Tcl_LinkVar is not tolerant to minus, plus, dot.
This handled minus and plus only, not other possible errors. Will need a TIP, because the boolean type is extended to consider '-', '+' and 'o' (necessary for being able to type 'on' or 'off') as valid booleans Dot, and integer prefixes (such as 0x) not handled yet, should be handled completely different.

\fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR expects \fIsrc\fR to specify a boolean
-value. If \fIsrc\fR is any of \fB0\fR, \fBfalse\fR,
+value. If \fIsrc\fR is any of \fB0\fR, \fB-\fR, \fBfalse\fR,
\fBno\fR, or \fBoff\fR, then \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR stores a zero
value at \fI*boolPtr\fR.
-If \fIsrc\fR is any of \fB1\fR, \fBtrue\fR, \fByes\fR, or \fBon\fR,
+If \fIsrc\fR is any of \fB1\fR, \fB+\fR, \fBtrue\fR, \fByes\fR, or \fBon\fR,
then 1 is stored at \fI*boolPtr\fR.
Any of these values may be abbreviated, and upper-case spellings
are also acceptable.
