TIP#340: NO.

I support the goals of this TIP, but not the specific
proposed refactoring.  It leaves Tcl_SetResult() in a
broken state: with an incorrect const qualifier on the
second argument and a worthless vestigial third argument.

What is called for is a new, two-argument, const-correct
entry point:

    void Tcl_SetResultString(Tcl_Interp *, const char *);

and for Tcl_SetResult() to be deprecated in its entirety.
(Or not.  Keeping it around is cheap.)
