Right, that was implicit in my description of the problem; there's an
additional level here, and the vars you want need to come from that level,
and Tcl has no good way to do that since it usually requires a closure and
Tcl doesn't do closures.

(iirc you can get into the same mess with python 2, although maybe not in
2.7)
