[TCLCORE] Question of string allocation

[Larry W. V. <lv...@ca...>]

In the comp.lang.tcl thread titled "append command wastes 10M of space",
Gerhard Hintermayer <g.h...@in...> in 
Message-ID: <3D1...@in...>
says:

> This was approved by the TCT, so you'd better ask them, why the're 
> playing ping pong.

in relation to the question of why his TIP implementation was not used
in the Tcl core.

I know that some of the tcl maintainers have been looking at the archives,
but to date I have not seen a response from a TCT member explaining why
Gerhard's algorithm (if not code) was not used after being accepted.

Could some response from the TCT be crafted and provided?  Thanks!
