The basic idea behind this TIP is good, but there is an IMO fatal flaw as currently specified: it introduces two new magic globals, $::tcl::errorStack and $::tcl::useErrorStack. Tcl already has too many of these (errorInfo, errorCode, tcl_precision, env, ...); this is recognized by now as having been a bad idea in all cases. I'd also suggest targeting this for 8.7. 8.6 is supposed to be in feature-freeze mode, so that it can be released. Every last-minute addition delays the release. If "SEND IT BACK" is (still) not a valid vote, then I'm sadly forced to say: TIP#348: NO. --Joe English jen...@fl... |
