Could you, then, post right here a formal specification (or link to
same on the tcl.tk site) of what the errorcode looks like, just as a
marker point to set this part of the discussion straight.

For example; Is the value a guaranteed list?  Will it ever be a nested
list? Are the text sections (those that may include spaces) guaranteed
to be quoted to preserve the list beneath?  Will they (text sections)
always only be the last word(s) of the errorcode list?  Is there
anything else to act as an indicator to separate error hierarchy from
arguments/text that may be useful to an errorcode parser?

I think without a formal description of what errorcodes actually are,
this sub-thread has been chasing its own tail just a little.
