Sorry, and Thanks.
This library is my first lump of program in Tcl.
So, there are many foolish logics in sourcecode, maybe. :(

Supposing it is adopted, I will welcome.

That's right.
The original library written in PHP.
How to deal with container/structures differs considerably.




Some amount of correction was made according to indication.

All "twirl-variables" on foreach-idiom to be braced.
But "for constructs for lists", I don't understand these concrete places.
Can I trouble you to show me there.

corrected

now, "Alias Node" is no implemented in the library.
So I comment outed the procedures.(and some not used)

It seems to be the treatment which is partly different.

Tcl:([string is true/false $token])
 1 == {1 true yes or on}
 0 == {0 false no off}
YAML:
 1 == {true on + yes y}
 0 == {false off - no n}

However, I am seldom scrupulous about this point... :)
