Re: [TCLCORE] TIP 714: image driver photo formats

[Donal F. <don...@ma...>]

My general take is simple enough: try to imagine what would be an ideal interface from Tcl, and adjust the real interface to be as much like that as possible, bearing in mind the realities of what is possible. It can be better to do a larger change while retaining a legacy API (see [trace]) than to struggle on with something less than perfect for the sake of minimalism in changes.

I understand that the name of the new subcommand is not optimal.
The TIP contains all current proposals.

In addition, the TIP contains a drafted specification of the
capabilities subcommand.
Any opinions welcome, if this makes sense or may just be removed.
The returned list item names are not beautiful neither.
Please comment and I will change the specification.
