That's a pity. I had quite a few if {${os.platform} eq "darwin"} {} else {} statements in certain of my ports, which I most all replaced with platform statements at the suggestion to do so. 

Would it be hard (and potentially acceptable) to extend the syntax to

platform ... {
} else {
}

of something of the sort? That seems like it might require patching the Tcl source code.
