Hi everyone 

 

This a CFV on two small feature TIPs:

 

  TIP 728: Reliable Read and Write of Child Interpreter Variables (aka
interp set)

    https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/728.md

 

  TIP 730: Switching by Integers (aka switch -integer)

    https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/730.md

 

Please send your votes to this list (preferably in reply to this message so
I stand a chance of finding them in my inbox!) by [clock format 1758538800]
(12:00 my time, next Monday).

 

My votes follow:

 

TIP 728: YES

TIP 730: YES

 

Also, let it be known that I have seen Harald's votes for both of these, and
that I've seen Ashok's concerns, but aren't going to delay; I feel quite
strongly that having some TIPs in discussion shouldn't be a reason for
blocking votes on other TIPs, as that would be a recipe for stasis just by
having a discussion open.

 

I've added some compatibility notes to the TIPs. (They were originally in
this email, but I think they're better in the TIPs themselves.)

 

Donal.
