        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Because the -[xy]scrollcommand is a script prefix (i.e., a string),
not a command prefix (i.e., a list).

In the vast overwhelming majority of cases, -[xy]scrollcommand
is indeed a proper list, but it's also possible to do stuff like:

    listbox .l -yscrollcommand { puts "I've been scrolled!" ; .sb set }
