Although the patch adds ~30 new
tests, the only one that I see with
different outcome before and
after the changes to tclExecute.c
is test expr-33.2 .

This appears to be a detail of
the boundary between recognition
of literal integer value as wide vs. non-wide,
which is notoriously tricky, and not
historically consistent; i.e. something that
needs some review.

I don't really know what the intent
of all the other additional tests is.
