 * TclLsetFlat --

 *	Core engine of the 'lset' command.
 *
 * Results:
 *	Returns the new value of the list variable, or NULL if an error
 *	occurred. The returned object includes one reference count for
 *	the pointer returned.
 *
 * Side effects:
 *	On entry, the reference count of the variable value does not reflect
 *	any references held on the stack. The first action of this function is
 *	to determine whether the object is shared, and to duplicate it if it
 *	is. The reference count of the duplicate is incremented. At this
 *	point, the reference count will be 1 for either case, so that the
 *	object will appear to be unshared.
 *
 *	If an error occurs, and the object has been duplicated, the reference
 *	count on the duplicate is decremented so that it is now 0: this
 *	dismisses any memory that was allocated by this function.
 *
 *	If no error occurs, the reference count of the original object is
 *	incremented if the object has not been duplicated, and nothing is done
 *	to a reference count of the duplicate. Now the reference count of an
 *	unduplicated object is 2 (the returned pointer, plus the one stored in
 *	the variable). The reference count of a duplicate object is 1,
 *	reflecting that the returned pointer is the only active reference. The
 *	caller is expected to store the returned value back in the variable
 *	and decrement its reference count. (INST_STORE_* does exactly this.)
 *
 *	Surgery is performed on the unshared list value to produce the result.
 *	TclLsetFlat maintains a linked list of Tcl_Obj's whose string
 *	representations must be spoilt by threading via 'ptr2' of the
 *	two-pointer internal representation. On entry to TclLsetFlat, the
 *	values of 'ptr2' are immaterial; on exit, the 'ptr2' field of any
 *	Tcl_Obj that has been modified is set to NULL.
