If the main motivation is convenience, can't you just write some
simple Tcl wrapper around global arrays?  A disadvantage of the way
you have it now is that everything is stringified before it's stored
in the set, and re-objectified on the way out.

This is a pretty specialised function.  I don't think the core is the
right place for it.
