Re: [TCLCORE] Prototype Implementation of TIP 672 - $(expr) Syntax

I would say {=}{expression} is more Tcl-ish, though two characters
longer. It follows the precedent of {*}, and avoids the incompatibility
of $(expression). I wonder if that could also be implemented by a
simple macro-type substitution at the parsing stage, as Eric has
proposed. If {=} was TIP-ed I would happily withdraw my competing TIP 676.
