If you're suggesting an alternative API please voice it clearly.
The patch is confined to tclMain.c and tclHistory.c which are parts of tclsh, and done so that non-interactive execution isn't penalized. Any form of criticism welcome here; I'm not too eager to TIP that now, given the current pipeline of unvoted TIP / uncommitted patches that I have :/.

The Standard ML language uses the global 'it' variable for the same purpose. Note also that these should be considered to be features of tclsh/wish and not the Tcl language.

The attached patch does just that.
Implementation: it saves the interp's result object in the assoc area.
Note that it is done at object level, not string, so that large values are efficiently handled. It does prorogate the life of the result object until the end of the next interactive command, but that's the price to pay while time machines are not affordable.

As suggested on comp.lang.tcl:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/thread/c78f6d63471cccb7/5ddedc4e11bfa754#5ddedc4e11bfa754
it could be nice to be able to retrieve the last interactive command's result or error, for debugging purposes in situations where things are not easily reproducible.
A simple API would be a [::tcl::lastresult] command.

A new helper function ::http::header would indeed be the simplest, returning basically the same key-value list (isomorphous to a dict BTW) as ::meta but with [string tolower] applied to the keys.

The http package puts the response headers into the meta element of the state array exactly as they are received from the server. If a program needs to get a specific well-known header (i.e., Location) they must search the meta array in a case-insensitive manner rather than just accessing the keys.
The requested feature is to provide a case-insensitive lookup into the meta array, either...
