This is very cool; it's something I've wanted to expose as a tcl api for 
a long time.

A thought for a further extension to this is to make the separator 
character changeable instead of only "/", so strings represented as 
"a.b.c.d" or "a:b:c:d" could be handled too.  However, that would 
probably add a good deal of complexity that is unjustified lacking an 
actual use case.

I was also thinking that the trie structure could be applicable to 
logging configurations: enabling logging for "debug/sql" and "info/*" 
but not "debug/*" would be really nice.  The "/" as a separator 
character seems odd at first, but ultimately unimportant as it conveys 
the same hierarchical information as "." or ":" would.
