Log Message:
        * generic/tclGet.c:     Radical code simplification.  Converted
        Tcl_GetFoo() routines into wrappers around Tcl_GetFooFromObj().
        Reduces code duplication, and the resulting potential for inconsistency.

        * generic/tclObj.c:     Several changes:
          - Fixed Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj to agree with its documentation and
            with Tcl_GetBoolean, accepting only "0" and "1" and not other
            numeric strings.  [Bug 1187123]
          - Added new private routine TclGetTruthValueFromObj to perform
            the more permissive conversion of numeric values to boolean
            that is needed by the [expr] machinery.

        * generic/tclInt.h (TclGetTruthValueFromObj):   New routine.
        * generic/tclExecute.c: Updated callers to call new routine.
        * tests/obj.test:       Corrected bad tests that actually expected
        values like "47" and "0xac" to be accepted as booleans.
