#472 Removing commas is slimming!
There are a large number of cases where string literals
passsed to vararg functions are split over multiple
lines but with a comma separating them. The most common
are in calls to Tcl_AppendResult.
By removing the comma separating the string literals,
you save all round:
* smaller object code (one less function argument
to push)
* one less '\0' in the strings table
* faster run time (one less time round the varargs
handling code)
* smaller source code!
Attached is a file containing all the occurences i
could grep out of the Tcl source (there are more in
Tk too) plus a patch for the first file in the list.
I'll submit patches for the rest if someone's
willing to apply them... although the changes are
absurdly trivial :-)

Sure, couldn't hurt. Unlikely to help much, but might as well put it in.
