Hmmm, I will disagree because if we see the coexistence as an
insurmountable bug, the above is a valid work-around.  The
question is whether it is possible to support Tcl.pm and
Perl/Tk loaded simultaneously.  If that's fundamentally not
in the cards (Stephane's option of renaming all the functions
is a bit extreme), then this at least prevents crashes, right?
