Since when do we consider broken programs (and even the author of the post that triggered all this admitted that) to be a "real problem" for tcl that would even justify *any* incompatibility for others? (And it does, as some scripts may currently deduce the OS file handle from the tcl file handle - which is also broken, but not more so than relying on errors for stale handles.) |
