+ * Stuff for tailcalls
+ *****************************************************************************
+ *
+ * Just to show that IT CAN BE DONE! The precise semantics are not simple,
+ * require more thought. Possibly need a new Tcl return code to do it right?
+ * Questions include:
+ *   (1) How is the objc/objv tailcall to be run? My current thinking is that
+ *	 it should essentially be
+ *	     [tailcall a b c] <=> [uplevel 1 [list a b c]]
+ *	 with two caveats
+ *	     (a) the current frame is dropped first, after running all pending
+ *		 cleanup tasks and saving its namespace
+ *	     (b) 'a' is looked up in the returning frame's namespace, but the
+ *		 command is run in the context to which we are returning
+ *	 Current implementation does this if [tailcall] is called from within
+ *	 a proc, errors otherwise.
+ *   (2) Should a tailcall bypass [catch] in the returning frame? Current
+ *	 implementation does not (or does it? Changed, test!) - it causes an
+ *	 error.
+ *
+ * FIXME NRE!

- *	(5) The appropriate INST_LOAD_* instruction to place the original
- *	    value of the list variable at top of stack.

- *	    everything from the stack except for the two names and pushes the
- *	    new value of the variable.
- *	(7) Finally, INST_STORE_* stores the new value in the variable and

- *		string if the number is sufficiently small. Again, it
- *		is permissible for TCL_DD_F_FORMAT to return fewer digits
- *		for a number that converts exactly, and changing the

- *	arithmetic only if the input number is close enough to the
- *	midpoint between two decimal strings that more precision is needed
- *	to resolve which string is correct.
- *
- * The value stored in the 'decpt' argument on return may be negative 
- * (indicating that the decimal point falls to the left of the string)

  *
  * When a list element requires quoting or escaping due to a CLOSE BRACKET

- * Another consideration is the treatment of QUOTE characters in list elements.
- * TclConvertElement() must have the ability to produce the escape sequence
- * \" so that when a list element begins with a QUOTE we do not confuse
- * that first character with a QUOTE used as list syntax to define list
