Summary: Tcl(n) refers to the command 'set'

Initial Comment:
The Tcl(n) manpage describes the syntax of Tcl,and
should not contain references to any specific commands.
The rule on "Substitution and word boundaries" contains
the following phrase:
    Thus, a sequence like set y  [set x 0][incr x][incr
x] will always set the       
    variable y to the value 012.
I think it would be appropriate to change the example to
    Thus, a sequence like cmd [set x 0][incr x][incr x]
will always invoke the
    command cmd with the argument 012.

Your rewording doesn't make things much less dependent on
[set] and [incr] as you still need the behaviour of [set]
and [incr] to get the described argument to the command.
