# -*- tcl -*-
#
# Searching for Tcl Modules. Defines a procedure, declares it as the
# primary command for finding packages, however also uses the former
# 'package unknown' command as a fallback.
#
# Locates all possible packages in a directory via a less restricted
# glob. The targeted directory is derived from the name of the
# requested package. I.e. the TM scan will look only at directories
# which can contain the requested package. It will register all
# packages it found in the directory so that future requests have a
# higher chance of being fulfilled by the ifneeded database without
# having to come to us again.
#
# We do not remember where we have been and simply rescan targeted
# directories when invoked again. The reasoning is this:
#
# - The only way we get back to the same directory is if someone is
#   trying to [package require] something that wasn't there on the
#   first scan.
#
#   Either
#   1) It is there now:  If we rescan, you get it; if not you don't.
#
#      This covers the possibility that the application asked for a
#      package late, and the package was actually added to the
#      installation after the application was started. It shoukld
#      still be able to find it.
#
#   2) It still is not there: Either way, you don't get it, but the
#      rescan takes time. This is however an error case and we dont't
#      care that much about it
#
#   3) It was there the first time; but for some reason a "package
#      forget" has been run, and "package" doesn't know about it
#      anymore.
#
#      This can be an indication that the application wishes to reload
#      some functionality. And should work as well.
#
# Note that this also strikes a balance between doing a glob targeting
# a single package, and thus most likely requiring multiple globs of
# the same directory when the application is asking for many packages,
# and trying to glob for _everything_ in all subdirectories when
# looking for a package, which comes with a heavy startup cost.
#
# We scan for regular packages only if no satisfying module was found.
