Re: [TCLCORE] CFV warning: TIP #626: Command arguments > 2^31 elements

[Gustaf N. (sslmail) <ne...@wu...>]

Just for my understanding: the "string based" interface will not support 2^31+ arguments, and there will be no variant similar to the Tcl_Obj based counterparts. 
This makes the  "string based”  interface based on Tcl_CreateCommand a legacy interface. Right?
