Both are "weird", in one way or another... Having to quote array
indexes is unusual in the Tcl language.

    expr {
        "arr(sin)" = sin($x);
        "arr(cos)" = cos($x);
        "arr(tan)" = tan($x)
    }

versus

    expr {
        arr("sin") = sin($x);
        arr("cos") = cos($x);
        arr("tan") = tan($x)
    }

The difference is - where you put the quotes. Either can work.
