I'm not familiar with standard TCL procedures, and I'd estimate most  
port authors aren't. We just know enough to get by to write  
portfiles. I for one would certainly appreciate it if everything  
necessary to write portfiles, including standard TCL, were documented  
in the guide and/or the manpage.
