[TCLCORE] PROPOSAL: use realloc when growing strings

[Brent W. <we...@aj...>]

I think most would agree that using the system realloc() procedure instead
of manually doing an alloc and copy.  The performance numbers shown by
Eric showed that using realloc accounted for significant performance
improvements, enough to justify a change.

If there are major objections, please speak up.  Otherwise someone ought
to formulate a simple patch that we should adopt.  If there are objections
then we can call a vote on this issue. Otherwise, my take from the
discussions is that folks are behind using realloc().

I'd rather not have to vote on every core change so long as there is
general concensus.  If I am off base here, again, please speak up.
Perhaps its just as easy to hear a "yes" vote from everyone.

My vote is yes.
