Summary: inconsistent error message from compiled [if] command

Initial Comment:

% if {42-22} ;# stuff
wrong # args: no script following "{42-22} ;# stuff
" argument

% set x if
if
% $x {42-22} ;# stuff
wrong # args: no script following "42-22" argument


OK. I admit this is *so* low priority ;)

It is a little surprising that the compiled [if]
can 'see' the curly braces and comment because
conceptually at least all it should see is a single
string "42-22".

In what release(s) of Tcl do you
see this behavior?  Please try
as many as you have available.
