Perl/Tk mega widget will probably not work.

Actually I had an ideas about implemented this using Tix megawidget support
(because Perl/Tk megawidgets rely on Tix).
I tried to think about this but gone not far enough to get some real ideas.

Implementing source code compatibility for Perl/Tk megawidgets will result
in growing otherwise very small module.
It is possible to move such supoprt to separate module.
(side note: there were ideas in this list about moving Tcl::Tk to Tcl Perl
module)

Yet I do understand lack of pure-Perl megawidgets is not good, there must
exist a way to create pure-Perl widgets, even not compatible with Perl/Tk.
Tcl::Tk::Widget::MultipleWidget provides something for this, and may be this
approach will be as replacement.

Most realistic plans to the moment is to create a number of Tcl::Tk
sub-modules to reimplement some existing Perl/Tk widgets to provide same
functionality for Tcl::Tk.

Best regards,
Vadim.
