 * The internal representation of a list object is a two-pointer
 * representation. The first pointer designates a List structure that contains
 * an array of pointers to the element objects, together with integers that
 * represent the current element count and the allocated size of the array.
 * The second pointer is normally NULL; during execution of functions in this
 * file that operate on nested sublists, it is occasionally used as working

 * Tcl_ListObjReplace --
 *
 *	This function replaces zero or more elements of the list referenced by
 *	listPtr with the objects from an (objc,objv) array. The objc elements
 *	of the array referenced by objv replace the count elements in listPtr
 *	starting at first.
 *
 *	If the argument first is zero or negative, it refers to the first
 *	element. If first is greater than or equal to the number of elements
 *	in the list, then no elements are deleted; the new elements are
 *	appended to the list. Count gives the number of elements to replace.
 *	If count is zero or negative then no elements are deleted; the new
 *	elements are simply inserted before first.
 *
 *	The argument objv refers to an array of objc pointers to the new
 *	elements to be added to listPtr in place of those that were deleted.
 *	If objv is NULL, no new elements are added. If listPtr is not a list
 *	object, an attempt will be made to convert it to one.
 *
 * Results:
 *	The return value is normally TCL_OK. If listPtr does not refer to a
 *	list object and can not be converted to one, TCL_ERROR is returned and
 *	an error message will be left in the interpreter's result if interp is
 *	not NULL.
 *
 * Side effects:
 *	The ref counts of the objc elements in objv are incremented since the
 *	resulting list now refers to them. Similarly, the ref counts for
 *	replaced objects are decremented. listPtr is converted, if necessary,
 *	to a list object. listPtr's old string representation, if any, is
