[TCLCORE] TIP 732 ready for comments

[<apn...@ya...>]

 <https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/732.md> TIP 732: Changes to
the Tcl script library search path is ready for comments.

 

TL;DR formalizes the mechanisms by which that Tcl runs/locates its support
scripts (init.tcl) and encodings. Currently this is partly undocumented and
also has some inconsistencies between documentation and behaviour. Further,
the TIP removes some search locations. See TIP for motivation and details.

 

The accompanying implementation also moves some of the Tcl initialization
scripts into C for a significant (25%) reduction in interp creation time.

 

I'm particularly interested in feedback from Unix and macOS folks that build
distributions if this impacts them in any way.
