 See the definition of the extension here:

 http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/src/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.c#L1167

 The list is compiled by copying those minus the ones which actually are
 documented
 here in the guide.

 http://guide.macports.org/#reference.tcl-extensions

 Not sure if some of these should stay undocumented because they are rather
 implementation detail or "private", but most look quite generally
 applicable.
